'Supermoon 2013': Don't miss the biggest, fullest and brightest moon this weekend
Stargazers and amateur astronomers will get a rare chance to view a special supermoon this weekend. The largest full moon this year, also known as the supermoon, will brighten the night sky this weekend.

On Sunday, at 7 am EDT, the moon will reach perigee - the point closest to earth in its orbit, a distance of 221,824 miles.

During Sunday's phenomenon, the moon will seem about 12.2 percent larger than it will look on January 16, 2014, when it will be at its farthest from the Earth during its apogee, Fox News reported.

The word “supermoon” was first used 30 years ago by astrologer Richard Nolle, but has only come into popular usage since 2011

Additionally, the near coincidence of Sunday's full moon with perigee will also result in a dramatically large range of high and low ocean tides.

Yea,, the moon is Bright tonite,, I went out back to get away from the lites so I could see the Space Station come across at 10:00 central time,

I put a tree between me & the moon to keep my eyes working. Moon was behind me as the Space Station came across from WNW to ESE,, ONly took 2 minutes for it to go invisible,, because the moon swamped the reflection,

Not that Im all that shook,, but I hear this is considered America's "Supermoon"..

Well I got to see how bright it was, but it was too cloudy to really appreciate it here last night
