People in Taiwan may be able to see the biggest moon of the year on Sunday night, weather permitting. The Taipei Astronomical Museum said the moon will max out at 11:47 p.m., when it passes its nearest point to Earth.

Researchers say the moon will appear about 14 percent bigger than its smallest appearance of this year, recorded at 9:01 p.m. June 9.

The museum said it will set up a high-powered telescope between 7pm and 9pm at Taipei’s Tianmu Baseball Stadium on Sunday night to offer the public a clearer view of the rare phenomenon.   [SOURCE]
