Sheer lunacy: Superest ‘Supermoon’ happens this Sunday

If the moon looks larger than normal Sunday, and you haven’t eaten a bag of mushrooms on Koh Phangan, relax. Everything’s fine.

The most stunning perigee full moon, or “supermoon” phenomenon of the year happens this weekend. Although it’s not such a rare event, this weekend is the closest the moon will be to the earth until Sep. 2015.

During the “supermoon,” earth’s nearest celestial neighbor looks about 15 percent bigger and glows about one-third brighter than normally perceived.
