The ‘Supermoon’ Is Tomorrow! So, What Is It? [Video]

This has pregnant women everywhere freaking out that this may be power to put them into labor. Basically, once a year this happens.  Saturday, May 5th the moon will be closest to the earth at 9:30p.m., then becomes completely full just one minute later. The moon will become full and orbit the Earth at a distance of only 221,802 miles, giving amazing views of a gigantic, extra-bright moon. In fact, skywatchers can look forward to a moon that’s about 16 percent brighter than usual.

Scientists don’t expect earthquakes or catastrophic tidal forces as a result.
