A supermoon is a full moon that appears 7% larger and 14% brighter than a regular full moon. This phenomenon occurs when the Moon is at its minimum distance from the Earth. The Moon is 357,264 km from our planet.
According to forecasts from Météo France, skies should be clear to enjoy the show.

The moon will be closest to Earth on Wednesday at 8:38 p.m., but it’s not yet visible. She doesn’t wake up until 10:30pm and goes to bed at 4:21am on Thursday. So it is visible to the naked eye for several hours in France. The phenomenon is nicknamed the “Super Thunder Moon” because it appears in July, which is one of the hottest and stormiest in this part of the world, TF1 information explains. The last supermoon of the year is scheduled for August 11.
