November Supermoon is Closest to Earth


November Supermoon is closest to earth on Monday, Nov.14. Jesse Tam, plan the viewing sites to see history. The northwest areas Seattle and Bellevue overcast skies forecast. It will be especially “super” because it’s the closest full moon to Earth since 1948. We won’t see another Supermoon like this until 2034.  The best time to see it is early Monday morning before sunrise, as the moon is closest to Earth at 6:22 am, EST.

Sunday night and Monday night are also good times to view Earth's natural satellite.  Astonomers call the closest to the Earth movement the perigee. The special moon on November 14 becomes full within about two hours of perigee.
