ROME, ITALY - NOVEMBER 14: A super moon rises through the clouds over Rome on November 14, 2016 in Rome, Italy. A Supermoon occurs when the perigee (closest approach by the Moon to Earth) coincides with it being full (completely illuminated by the Sun). This time it will appear 7% larger and 15% brighter than normal. Although the next Supermoon will occur next month, the moon won't be this close to Earth again until November 2034.
