Supermoon

That’s one very big moon this week.

This supermoon is at its biggest and brightest in almost 69 years.  It reached its most luminescent in North America just before dawn. It’s th closest the moon has been to earth since 1948.

In conjunction with a low pressure syetm moving up the eastern seaboard it’s expected to bring the highest tides of the year to the Bay of Fundy.
