 Perigee full moon may cause tides to riseBiggest Full Moon of the year due this weekend as 'supermoon' raises tides around the planet
The moon is set to get a lot bigger this weekend - at least from our perspective on Earth. And the 'Supermoon' - the nickname for a perigee full moon, closer to the Earth than usual - could cause tides to rise around the world as the moon's close 'fly past' exerts 42% more tidal force. The moon will appear bigger and brighter - sky-watchers promise this 'supermoon' will be 16% brighter than most when it begins on Saturday at 3.35pm GMT, 11.35am EDT.
