December 3 will bring 2017’s first and last supermoon, meaning a full moon that happens at perigee, the same time in the lunar cycle that the moon is closest to the earth.
On this particular occasion, the moon will appear 7 percent larger and 16 percent brighter than usual, however, the naked eye is not likely to spot much of a difference.
The supermoon will brighten up the skies on Sunday night in Pakistan in a phenomenon wherein the moon moves closer to the Earth.
Not only will this be the only full supermoon of 2017, this is expected to kick off a series of three full supermoons in a row. The full moons on January 2 and January 31 not only will be supermoons, they will be blue supermoons — a “blue moon” meaning the second full moon in a single month.
