Hi Everyone,
Great news for Astronomy fans and star gazers out there, the largest supermoon in nearly 70 years will grace our skies on Monday 14 November! A supermoon occurs when the full moon occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit and is aligned with the sun. This gives the full Moon a much larger and brighter appearance.
Monday's supermoon is unique as the Moon will be the closest to Earth it’s been since January 1948 and it wont get this close again until 2034!
British weather permitting we should get a good look at this event. Will anyone else be taking a look?

It's completely overcast where I am atm. Doesn't look like it's going to clear in time either

@jonsie Still it looks like you're getting a good view!
Would have been nice to have a look here. Still maybe the clouds will glow a bit brighter

Well I can see the moon...I can't see anything super about it....I know it's cloudy(ish) but if it hadn't been mentioned here I wouldn't have known the difference. There were some stunning images from Asia though...
