The orbit of the moon is oval in shape, that brings the moon closer to earth at one point in time in its orbit. On November 14, the moon will be seen 14 percent larger than usual.
It can be best viewed from the place where the surroundings aren’t well lighted up, making the moon more visible. Also, you will be able to enjoy an even better view from tall skyscrapers.
