Thanks to Yahoo News for the following text:
At its peak, the supermoon of March may appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than lesser full moons (when the moon is at its farthest from Earth), weather permitting. Yet to the casual observer, it may be hard to tell the difference.
The supermoon will not cause natural disasters, such as the Japan earthquake, a NASA scientist has stressed.
Spotting the supermoon
The moon has not been in a position to appear this large since March 1993.
I am happy that this same amazing moon will be shining over those I love and miss that are miles away. May they all be safe, happy and healthy and know how very much they are loved.
