Supermoon 2019 LIVE stream: How to watch the LARGEST Moon of the year online?

“At its rise, the Moon appears behind monuments and elements of the landscape, generating the feeling that its disks is larger than usual but this is just an optical illusion, due to the presence of those terrestrial elements on the line of sight, giving grounds for comparison.”

Most astronomy enthusiasts might not be able to spot the difference between a regular Full Moon and the Supermoon this Tuesday,w without knowing what to look for.

Mr Masi said: “The February 19, 2019, Supermoon will appear about seven percent bigger and a bit brighter than an average Full Moon but casual stargazers will not notice this at their first glance.

“These are not really obvious variations but they add charm to the event, a precious opportunity to admire or natural satellite in the night sky context, an increasingly overlooked and forgotten landscape.”
