On November 14, the Moon will be at perigee with the Earth. Perigee means the moon will be at the point in its revolution where it is the closest to the earth.
Next Monday is also the next full moon.
When a full moon happens around perigee, you get a super moon. Generally, super moons are approximately 16-18% brighter and 30% larger than micro moons (full moons at apogee).
But next Monday, the timing of the full moon and perigee will bring the largest and brightest super moon since 1948 and won't be seen again until 2034. That's because the full moon coincides with the peak of perigee.
