Supermoon Returns to the Dacula Skies

The biggest full moon of the year will shine tonight. Will you be watching?

The full moon on Sunday, June 23, will be the largest of the year and the closest to Earth. 

According to Larry Sessions of EarthSky.org, the moon could appear as much as 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter. According to The Washington Post, a moon of larger size and proximity will not be visible until September 2015, so gaze while you can.
