2 Supermoons in one month (January 1st and 31st) + some facts

"A supermoon happens when the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its orbit. Supermoons make the moon appear a little brighter and closer than normal, although the difference is hard to spot with the naked eye."

Click here for a  nice site to explain what a supermoon really is  (from Space.com).

For information about the year's largest supermoon click here. There is no specific time to go out and look - just some time between dusk and dawn.

For facts about the moon for kids - click here.


Enjoy!
