It is believed that for a moon to be considered a supermoon it must be within 226,000 miles from the earth.
Tomorrow will mark the closest the moon will orbit to the earth all year round and will appear bigger and brighter than usual.
A supermoon is also believed to have an impact on the Earth’s waters. When a full moon is closer to our planet, the tide levels are often higher. And while there is no solid scientific evidence, some astrologists believe that a supermoon was responsible for tsunamis in Japan in 2011 and the Indian Ocean in 2004.
This solar event will take place tomorrow night and it has also been noted that the supermoon will coincide with the lunar eclipse in September 2033 (a date for your diary now) as this only happens a couple of times in a person's lifetime.
