The Philippines can enjoy a rare “supermoon” on the night of Nov. 14 since there is no weather disturbance in the country. Monday’s full moon, called supermoon for its larger than usual size, is not only the biggest and brightest this year but also the closest full moon in nearly seven decades. “This means we’ll be seeing a closer and larger apparent diameter moon this year, a supermoon. This supermoon is one of the closest and biggest in 68 years and it won’t happen again until 2034,” Pagasa said. The term supermoon is a modern astrological term coined by American astrologer Richard Nole.
