Closest Supermoon Since 1948
Today, Monday, November 14th, the moon will be at its closest since 1948. That means it will be 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. For best effect, photograph while the moon is rising at the horizon. It will appear largest, particularly behind manmade or natural features, such as an iconic building or even people. The Photographer's Ephemeris will give nearly the exact time of moonrise for your specific location. For example, London, England will see the moon rise at 16:44 (4:44pm), while Mumbai, India will see the moon rise at 19:02 (7:02pm).
