Super moon to shine bright on Saturday night [View all]

For stargazers, werewolves and lovers, it’s going to be a great night.

A bright and beautiful super moon will rise over the horizon on Saturday. Why super? Because it’s a full moon and will make its closest approach to Earth this year – a mere 221,802 miles away.

And if this celestial feast doesn’t bring out the romance in you, well, we don’t know what to say.

By now you are probably wondering where is the best spot to watch. Try an outdoor café overlooking the beach, head out to a fishing pier or park along open spaces on Alligator Alley and U.S. 27.
