The biggest full moon that the world is going to see this year shone two days ago, on May 6th. The moon was about 220,000 miles from earth, which is 17055 miles closer to earth than usual. This annual phenomenon is called the "Supermoon" and is a thrilling sight to look forward to. This moon will bring especially high tides because the moon pulls the tides, and it is much closer, therefore adding extra force upwards. I think the Supermoon is pretty exciting. I always seem to notice the moon and two days ago, it was spectacular.
