"Supermoon" on Saturday

Updated:

There's not only a full moon coming this weekend there's something called a "Supermoon" on the horizon this Saturday.

A supermoon happens when a full moon occurs at a time when the moon is also closest to the Earth in its elliptical orbit. The two conditions combine to make the moon appear larger than normal.

It's expected to happen here at 11:35 p.m. ET on Saturday.

One tough break for moon-watchers though, the local forecast is calling for rain.
