How bright will tonight’s supermoon be?

Tonight’s supermoon, known as a a super flower moon, is the final supermoon of 2020.

Unforutnately, it’s the least brightest and biggest of the year.

If you’re wondering why, this is because it’s the third closest to the Earth of the three that have occurred this year.

However, it’s still classified as a supermoon as it’s a full moon within 90 per cent of its nearest distance to Earth.

The brightest supermoon this year was on the night of April 7.
