If you’re eager to catch Monday night’s “super moon”, here’s some key information:
- The moon will rise at 5:51pm.
- Photographs should be easier if they are taken while the moon is still low in the sky
- Don’t expect it to be enormous – it should appear about 15 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter than normal
- This is the closest full moon so far in the 21st Century, according to NASA
- The last “super moon” like this one was in 1948, and the next won’t be until 2034
- But if you miss out on Monday night, there will be an “almost” super moon again on Tuesday night
