Did you look at the moon last night? Did you find yourself singing By the Light of the Silvery Moon?! ♫♫ We've all been hearing about this supermoon and it's very interesting! As we know, we have a supermoon when a new or full moon occurs with the moon at, or near (within 90% of), its closest approach to Earth in an orbit. It will appear brighter and closer than usual and that was exceptionally apparent when we went outside last night. The sky was clear and the view was spectacular! However, the best day to view it is tonight!
Supermoons aren't that uncommon. In fact, this is the fifth we've had in 2016 and we're to have another on December 14. This one tonight is to be the biggest and brightest in nearly 70 years, though.
Provided the weather conditions are favorable, you can view the moon tonight at 7:52 CST. You don't want to miss it because the next one won't be until 2034!
I'll see you in the light...of the silvery moon!
