The moon will reportedly be closer to Earth on March 19 than it has been in 18 years.
The moon's orbit around the Earth is slightly elliptical, and when it is at the near point it is known as a lunar perigee.  However, astronomy and astrology fans are calling this upcoming lunar event a "supermoon."


Make sure you get outside and get a view of this awesome astronomical event!
