The Biggest and Brightest Supermoon of 2023: When and How to See It

During the year 2023 we will be witnessing four supermoons to rise. The lunar display will be the brightest during the night as compared to any other supermoons.

Supermoon events occur when the distance between Earth and moon reduces by more than 10,000 miles. During the event, the moon appears larger in size than usual.

Also known as Pournima in India, the distance of the moon from Earth will be 224,895.4 miles from Earth. This will be 14,000 miles less than usual. Just as we follow Panchang in India, the Americans follow Old Farmer's Almanac. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, there are 13 Full moons in 2023.
