not miss the opportunity this weekend the moon will look a little larger and brighter than in the past 20 years. The satellite of the Earth is at its perigee, that is, its elliptical orbit places it closer our planet than it has been since March 1993 therefore appear to be size 14% larger and up 30% brighter . In particular, it will be 50,000 miles closer of the Earth than usual, the closest of our planet has been since then. "The phenomenon is worthy of being watched because it always coincides with the perigee full moon phase," recalled the astronomer Geoff Chester, Naval Observatory United States.
