5 places to view the super-supermoon in Boston

Tonight will be your best chance to catch the largest supermoon in 68 years.

So-called supermoonsoccur whenever the moon is full when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its rotation around the planet. This moon will appear 14 percent larger and shine 30 percent brighter than how we typically see the moon.

The moon won’t be this large again until Nov. 24, 2034, according to NASA.The moon’s orbit around Earth is slightly elliptical so sometimes it is closer and sometimes it’s farther away.

November’s supermoon is the second of three consecutive supermoon full moons in 2016. Next month’s moon peaks on Dec. 14.

NASA recommendsfinding a place to watch the supermoon that has minimal light pollution andwith some trees or buildings to use as reference points to the size of the moon.

The moon peaks 6:22 a.m. Monday after moonseton the East Coast. If you miss it Sunday night, NASA scientists say it will still look pretty big Monday night as well.
