Many people around the world were excited and mesmerized by the appearance in the sky of the rare supermoon on Nov. 15, 2016. Astronomers say that the “extra-supermoon” is 4 percent bigger and 35 percent brighter than the usual moon that we see. The phenomenon occurs when the full moon is closest to the earth during its monthly orbit. And since it happens only every 68 years, a person has only one chance in his or her lifetime to see it, making the supermoon event even more dramatic.
