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?

I wish to point out that I am not responsible for this super moon, despite what has been suggested to the contrary.
You disappoint me now
