> Astronomy buffs will have their eyes to the sky tonight and they won't have to look hard to see a Supermoon.
> Tonight the moon will be at its biggest and brightest of the season. According to The Weather Network, the moon will be at its closest point to the earth tonight, appearing 14 per cent larger than normal.
> This event also coincides with the Perseid meteor shower which will occur with hundreds of meteors that will be streaming across the sky. This might be a little more subdued than normal because of the brightness of the Supermoon.
> The Mail would love to see your photos of tonight's phenomenon. Please feel free to share.
