Biggest Full Moon This Weekend!

The biggest full moon of the year is going to happen this weekend. I have always loved looking at the stars and the moon because they are just so interesting. The moon will be full at about 11:35pm on Saturday night. The moon will be 221,802 miles from Earth. The scientists have nicknames this moon a supermoon. I am going to have to see this. It will be very interesting to see. This moon is also said to be about 16 percent brighter than it normally is. The reason that this is happening is because the Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. Because the moon is going to be so close people have been freaking out that earthquakes and other bad things will happen, but scientists have said to not worry because it is just because of the orbit. The last time the moon was really close to Earth like this was in March of last year. To view the moon at its best you need to look at it just after it is rising or right before it is going to set.
