That is not to say that the moon won’t be an impressive sight, it is also a Harvest Supermoon which appears larger and brighter than normal because it’s at the closest point to Earth during its orbit, making the moon look bigger than usual.
It will also likely look red or orange. If your curious why that happens, this article explains it.
