Article Summary : Monday's bright supermoon will be closest to Earth in 68 years
The article from newscientist.com explained about the special event that occurred on Monday Night, 14 November where the full moon would be the closest to the Earth. This phenomenon which occurred once in around 70-year period called a supermoon, means the moon was a bit bigger and brighter than it normally appears. A full moon happens when the sun, the Earth and the moon are all lined up in a row which is called a syzygy. When the full moon is at the point in its closest point to the Earth, supermoon occurs. This particular phenomenon, the supermoon, would be 356,511 kilometres from Earth - the closest it has come since 1984. Supermoons are approximately a third larger in area and 30 percent bright than the full moon in the furthest orbit. This phenomenon will occur again in 16 October and 14 December 2016.
