The biggest full moon in almost seven decades will appear in the sky on the eve of November 14,
scientists said.
It will be the largest full moon since 1948, and the closest and brightest supermoon of 2016.
“The full moon of November 14 is not only the closest full moon of 2016 but also the closest full moon to date in the 21st century,” as NASA said.
It is also one of the largest full moons that can be seen from Taipei in nearly a hundred years, said Taipei Astronomical Museum on Friday.
The next time a full moon is as close to Earth will be on November, 25, 2034, according to scientists, which is nearly two decades from now. [FULL STORY]
