Look up in the sky for a super sight: the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. The so-called supermoon will appear 14 percent larger than normal early Sunday as our celestial neighbor swings closer to Earth. Some viewers may think the supermoon looks more dazzling, but it's actually an optical illusion. The moon looms larger on the horizon next to trees and buildings. The moon will come within 222,000 miles of Earth and turn full around 7:30 a.m. EDT, making it the best time to view. Here are AP photos of the supermoon: Reported by SeattlePI.com 8 hours ago.
