Take a break from your Thanksgiving preparations, bundle up your guests, and step outside to watch the moon rise.

And to make this full moon especially exciting, it will be at its closest point to Earth, just 223,436 miles away, making it the biggest Supermoon of the year! The moon promises to be especially spectacular as it slowly rises above the horizon. Don’t miss this beautiful celestial sight.
