The natural phenomenon happens when the full Moon coincides with when it travels closest to Earth on its orbit.

'The last full Moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993,' said Geoff Chester of the US Naval Observatory in Washington DC.

'I'd say it's worth a look.'

Cloudy here as the moon was rising, then forgot to check again before bedtime. Damn!
