The biggest ‘supermoon’ spectacle in the night sky for almost 70 years is happening on Monday.

Look up and you’ll see the moon the closest it’s been to Earth since 1948.

The moon will appear up to a third brighter and 14 per cent bigger than an average full moon.

Make the most of it because Nasa says the "undeniably beautiful" astronomical event will not come again until November 25, 2034.

The moon will appear largest when it begins to rise at around quarter to five in Britain as it will be nearer to the horizon.

Robin Scagell, vice-president of the Society for Popular Astronomy, said: "It will be above rooftops and trees and chimneys and always appears bigger that way because you're comparing it to foreground objects.

"I'm always pleased for people to get their binoculars out and look up at the craters and the seas."

The moon will only be a fraction smaller on November 15, Mr Scagell added.

When the moon is at ‘perigee’, its shortest distance from the Earth, it is 226,000 miles away.

This month’s will be the brightest and largest of three ‘supermoons’ in 2016.

We had the first one on October 16 with the third due on December 14.

If you manage to get photos or video of the supermoon when it happens, we’d love to see. Please email anything to digitalmedia@london.newsquest.co.uk
