The Moon is a familiar sight in our sky, brightening dark nights and reminding us of space exploration, past and present. But the upcoming supermoon — on Monday, 14 November — will be especially “super” because it’s the closest full Moon to Earth since 1948. We won’t see another supermoon like this until 2034.
This is actually the second of three supermoons in a row, so if the clouds don’t cooperate for you this weekend, you will have another chance next month to see the last supermoon of 2016 on Wednesday 14 December.

Tidal flooding will be bad ...especially in the Florida keys . It was significantly higher last month too.

I was camping during last month's super moon.
It was amazing.
I didn't know this was why it was so big and bright. Thanks for the thread.
The moon turns precisely full on November 14, 2016 at 1352 UTC. This full moon instant will happen in the morning hours before sunrise November 14 in western North America and on many Pacific islands, east of the International Date Line. (See worldwide map below.)

but i doubt it's going to be anything astronomical.
Actually, it's as astronomical as it gets.

It would be quite interesting if the World got hit by a Spiritual Wave of Biblical proportions seeing that the last time the moon was this close was the same year that the Jews got the State of Israel back, after WW2.

God / aliens / interdimensional beings made a very poor job of placing the Moon at the exactly right distance from Earth, judging by all these supermoons we have on a regular basis.
Just saying.

I think the Jews got it back in 1947?
