Dec. 3, 2017 supermoon via Henrique
Feliciano Silva In Lisbon, Portugal
|
Today, the first day of 2018, will feature the biggest full moon of the year -- a super moon.
It will also be one of two full super moons in January alone.
What is a super moon?
A super moon is a new or full moon that reaches its fullest point near the time of perigee -- or when it is at its closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit.
This moon, according to the astronomers at EarthSky.org, will be the closest full moon of 2018.
Therefore it may appear bigger and even brighter in the night sky.
And tonight will be the best chance to see it.
