'Supermoon' to brighten up skies for stargazers

Stargazers are in for a treat tonight as they could catch a glimpse of the so-called 'supermoon' when the Moon appears bigger and brighter in the sky as it moves closer to the Earth. <br/><br/>It will appear about 7 per cent larger and 15 per cent brighter, although the difference is barely noticeable to the human eye. The full moon marks the first and only supermoon of 2017. NASA said, it is first in a series of three supermoons. The next two will appear on January 1st and January 31st next year.<br/><br/><br/>
