Victorians may want to turn their eyes to the night skies if they want to see the moon pass closer to the Earth than it has in almost 70 years. According to NASA, the so-called ``Super Moon'' will be the closest full moon to earth since 1948, and it won't be as close again until 2034.
The Moon will be 14% bigger and 30% brighter than normal.
Because the Moon is so close to earth its gravity also impacts tides -- The moon will be at its closest just before dawn on Monday, but will be almost equally visible tonight and tomorrow nights.
