Bigger and brighter 'supermoon' graces the night sky
Found on BBC on Sunday, 06 May 2012
A "supermoon" has graced the skies, appearing bigger and brighter than usual, as it comes closer to the Earth - and is likely to bring higher tides.
When the Moon appears at its biggest it will be just 356,400km (221,457 miles) away, compared to its usual distance from Earth of 384,000km (238,606 miles).
Sure is interesting to see it up closer that usual.
