Astronomers are predicting this month's supermoon will be the most impressive such spectacle in 67 years. Photo ReutersKiwis are set to be treated with the most spectacular "supermoon" since 1948 - if bad weather doesn't hide it from us. "For most of the population, it'll be the best one they've seen in their lifetime," Stardome astronomer Dr Grant Christie said. The exact time of the full moon occurs a little later at 2.52am, at which time the moon will appear high in the sky and noticeably brighter. The moon will also be close to the bright star Aldebaran in Taurus while passing through the Hyades star cluster.
