The largest, brightest full moon in nearly seven decades will be on display in
the coming days, promising Earth-bound sky-watchers a celestial "supermoon"
spectacle.
The
full moon will come nearer to Earth than at any time since 1948, astronomers
said. At closest approach, which occurs at 6:23 a.m. EST on Monday, the moon
will pass within 216,486 miles (348,400 km) of Earth's surface, about 22,000
miles (35,400 km) closer than average, they added.
