The record-breaking Supermoon will be happening tonight! November 14th. The skywatchers are already excited as they prepare themselves to witness an amazing spectacle as Earth's satellite will make its closest approach since 1948. Supermoon is expected to reach the peak of its full phase, Monday morning at 8:52 am EST (1352 GMT)  and UK's best chance to see the astonishing event is on Monday evening and estimated to reached its closest approach at 11:21 pm GMT when it will be a 356,509 km away.

According to BBC, Supermoon will appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent bigger than the other supermoon and average monthly full moon that has ever witnessed. This year, it is the 2nd of three consecutive supermoons for 2016; in the month of October, November, and December.

At the Slooh Community Observatory, Bob Berman says that the upcoming Supermoon will not only the brightest and closest supermoon of 2016 but it will also be the largest for the past 68 years and if unfortunately missed the supermoon tonight, it'll probably take 18 long years, November 25, 2034, to be able to watch the remarkable supermoon, Space has reported.

A full moon occurs when the Earth, Sun, and the moon line up, having the moon on the side of the Earth opposite to the sun. Supermoon refers to the coexistence of two phenomena. First, is  when the moon is within 90 percent of its closest position to Earth's orbit. Since the moon's orbit is elliptical, the moon during perigee is about 30,000 miles closer to Earth than the apogee. Second phenomena are syzygy, where the Earth, the moon, and the sun all line up as the moon orbits the Earth. When both phenomena occur and the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, then supermoon occurs.

November's full moon is also called Beaver Moon because it arrives at the same time of the year when the hunters set traps before all the water froze just to ensure they had enough warm furs for the upcoming winter.
