CCTV9英语新闻：罕见天文奇观超级月亮

全球人们都在期待着罕见天文奇观超级月亮的出现。近70年来最大最亮的满月将会在今晚悬挂天空。

People around the world are preparing for a rare astronomical spectacle - a supermoon. The largest and brightest full moon in nearly seventy years will light up the night sky this evening.

The spectacle refers to an astronomical phenomenon in which the full or new moon looks bigger and brighter than usual, as its orbit brings it closer to the Earth. 

Monday night's supermoon is the biggest since 1948. Astronomers say that around every 14th full moon is a supermoon. The next time the moon comes this close to Earth will be in 2034.
