Super Moon tomorrow night!
On Saturday at 11:35 p.m. ET, the moon will officially turn full. And only 25 minutes later, the moon will also arrive at perigee, its closest approach to Earth — a distance of 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) away.
The effect of this coincidence is a stunning skywatching sight called the “SUPER MOON” (emphasis mine).

Astronomers are saying that this Super Moon will be even more super than usual.
“The last full moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993,” Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C. told USA Today.
Get out your telescopes and have a midnight picnic on the roof.
