PICS: The supermoon in South Africa
The biggest “supermoon” since 1948 graced the sky on 14 November 2016. If you missed it, you’ll have to wait to for the 25 November 2034 for another chance to see the super moon.
On 14 November 2016, the moon appeared 14% bigger and 30% brighter – than usual as it came closest to earth since 1948. However, the moon was 14% closer to earth than its farthest point or apogee.
A Supermoon occurs when the sun, moon and earth align – as well as the moon’s orbit is the closest to earth. Also called a perigee moon, it is known by its size and brightness.
