Mega Moon rising

This weekend, the Moon will be closer to the Earth than it normally is, and will seem bigger in the sky than usual. On the evening of the 6th it will rise very big and full at about 8pm BST. If you can find a spot with a clear view of the south eastern horizon, this is a spectacle you should not miss!
