Ah, the mystery of the moon, our closest celestial body. The Earth's only satellite, the moon influences everything from the tides to the migration of birds - but what is a supermoon?
Supermoons are super not only because they look bigger and brighter than usual but also because they are so rare, with only about three or four occurring each year. The reason for their spectacular appearance is because the moon is at its closest possible point to the Earth - and if you step outside on the evening of October 17 then you will get to witness the biggest supermoon of the year, the Hunter’s Moon.
Read on to find out how you can make the most of this celestial experience and learn all about the phenomenon of the supermoon.
