Patch Mansfield, MA --Skywatchers and stargazers might want to look up this weekend for one of the biggest celestial events of the year.
The largest supermoon of the year, also known as the perigee moon, will peak this Sunday.
The event occurs when a fullmoon lines up with the Earth and the sun at a specific point in its orbit, according to The Huffington Post. Themoon will appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter.
Another supermoon will appear in July; however, themoon will not be this close to earth again until August 2014. The moon will become full Sunday at 7:32 a.m. and visible again after sunset.
