It is a supermoon!

The orbital mechanics transmit its process that brings the moon closer to Earth which will occur for more than 18 years. It is the biggest full moon of 2011 that will occur this Saturday and it leads to some observers to dub it a "supermoon."

On Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the moon will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2011: a distance of 221,565 miles (356,575 kilometers) away. And only 50 minutes earlier, the moon will officially be full.

This is another record in history that explains that phenomenon that there is like this that will surely exist.
