The heavens will deliver a rare treat for the moonstruck romantics, werewolves, freaks and the rest of us that just really love this stuff later this week. The third Super moon of the year will take place this Saturday. For those of us in the Eastern time zone, the moon turns full at 1:25 a.m. on July 12 the instant the moon lies most opposite from the sun for the month. However, the moon will look full for a few nights because of its size.
A Super moon is defined as one of the closest approach's the moon will make to the Earth on its elliptical orbit. They do not happen that often during a full moon and these are the ones that you'll want to make sure you get outside to enjoy how awesome it will look in the sky. Maybe you will get a chance to hear the werewolves howling.
This occurrence will result in the largest visual size moon when observed from Earth. It will be 14% larger and 30% brighter than most full moons. Fortunately, there are two more Super moons that will occur during a full moon period remaining in 2014. One will occur on August 10th and the other one will happen on September the 8th. The Supermoon in August is projected to be the largest one in 2014.
