The biggest and brightest moon of the year , or "supermoon," will happen tomorrow night when the full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth.
If you were planning to pass up the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Saturday's phenomenon, we've compiled a few photos from last year's supermoon on March 19, 2011 , which might inspire a change of mind.
Todd Shoemake of the National Weather Service snapped this photo of the supermoon on March 19, 2011. That's his office in the foreground.
