According to NASA, the moon looks as much as 14% bigger
when it is nearest to Earth on its elliptical orbit, as well as up
to 30% brighter. It occurs once every 14 full moons in a full moon
cycle. While many have associated the supermoon with
natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to
it's oceanic and crustal tides, there has been little evidence to
support this. If you've missed the chance to see
it the past weekend, fret not - the supermoon will
be back on August 10, 2014.
In picture, the supermoon is a big ball of orange against the night sky
at the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore.
