<p><b>Explanation: </b>What is so super about tomorrow's supermoon? <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/novembers-spectacular-supermoon">
Tomorrow</a>, a full moon will occur that appears slightly larger and brighter than usual. The reason is that the
<a href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap161012.html">Moon's full</a>y illuminated phase occurs within a short time from perigee - when the Moon is its closest to the Earth in its elliptical orbit. Although the precise conditions that define a
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWAN0FwfD5M">supermoon</a> vary, tomorrow's supermoon will undoubtedly qualify because it will be the closest, largest, and brightest full moon in
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTEQMemI3Pc">over 65 years</a>. One reason
<a href="http://earthsky.org/space/what-is-a-supermoon">supermoons</a> are popular is because they are so easy to see -- just go outside and sunset and watch an impressive full moon rise! Since perigee actually occurs tomorrow morning, tonight's
<a href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160201.html">full moon</a>, visible starting at
<a href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap111127.html">sunset</a>, should also be impressive. Pictured here, a
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermoon">supermoon</a> from 2012 is compared to a micromoon -- when a full Moon occurs near the furthest part of the Moon's orbit -- so that it appears smaller and dimmer than usual. Given many definitions, at least one
<a href="http://www.universetoday.com/102763/what-is-a-super-moon/">supermoon</a> occurs each year, with another one coming next month (moon-th). However, a full moon will not come this close to Earth again until 2034.
