Supermoon this weekend!

This Saturday, May 5th, the largest full moon of the year will be visible!  May's full moon happens at the same time as the moon's perigee (when the moon is closest to earth). The moon will come within 221,802 miles from our planet, making for the biggest and brightest moon this year, nicknamed a SUPERMOON! To view this phenomenon look for it just as it rises (Approx:6:30am) or as it sets (Approx:8:00pm) when it is close to the horizon. If viewed behind buildings or trees it can be an optical illusion making the moon seem larger than it really is!

Did you know that the
moon's orbit is not 
a perfect circle
around the earth?
