If you’re lucky enough to enjoy clear weather on Saturday night, chances are you might look up and experience a momentary rush of fear upon thinking that the moon is about to smash into the Earth.
We exaggerate, of course, but the fact remains our sole orbiting neighbour is expected to appear unusually large in the night sky during a period known in astrological circles as a ‘perigee moon’.
More notably, tomorrow’s eye-popping celestial flyby will present the largest perigee moon in almost 20 years, making it an event well worth the viewing according to experts.
