Looking forward to tonight’s supermoon? 🌝 What makes it so super in the first place?

A supermoon is a full Moon occurring when the Moon is at its closest point in its orbit around Earth — making it slightly brighter and larger. More Moon facts: https://go.nasa.gov/2UP63ev

Do a little skywatching from home tonight! 🔭 After it starts getting dark, face west (same direction as sunset). Then look up. That very bright “star” is the planet Venus. 🪐

Tonight Venus appears very near the Pleiades star cluster. Binoculars provide an especially nice view.
