Final ‘Supermoon’ of 2014 arrives!

> From the WeatherWatch archives

Astronomers are gearing up for another super moon – the final one of the year.

NASA says the the moon can look as much as 14 percent larger in the sky, and 30 percent brighter to our eyes than normal moons. 

The supermoon occurs when the moon becomes full on the same days as its perigee, which is the point in the moon’s orbit when it is closest to Earth.

If you get any photos of the supermoon in our skies, let us know and submit it here!
