On Monday, October 6, the year’s first full supermoon will adorn the night sky. To admire it at its biggest and brightest, you’ll have to do more than just look up. The spectacle occurs when the full moon is in its closest approach to Earth. During this period, the lunar orb can look up to 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than when it’s far from our planet. (At the latter phase, it’s known as a “micromoon.”) The magnitude figures sound striking, but there is a catch. When you’re gazing high in the sky, a supermoon doesn’t seem all that much grander than your typical full moon. But it does seem gargantuan if you take advantage of Outside writer bystephanievermillion's favorite trick: the moon illusion.
