Super Moon Almost Here

Saturday night will be the showoff event for the moon, as it reaches, it's "super" point.

The moon will be 221,802 miles away from Earth Saturday night, the average distance is 238,855 according to NASA, that’s 17,053 miles closer.

Which means the moon will appear fourteen percent larger and thirty percent brighter than other full moons this year.

Perigree, when the moon is closest to the Earth in its monthly rotation, will happen exactly one minute after the moon reaches it's fullest status, which is determined when the moon, sun, and Earth line up perfectly.

The best time to take pictures will be at moon rise, due to the optical illusion of the moon appearing bigger at the horizon.
