Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
Today is Monday, and the moon will appear slightly larger and brighter tonight during what's known as a supermoon. It happens when the full moon is closer to Earth in its orbit and, according to NASA, it's the first of three expected supermoons this year. So tonight, step outside and take a look at the sky, because astronomers say everyone in the world can see a supermoon without special equipment, if clear skies permit.
