Mark your calendars

Get ready to mark November 14 in your stargazing calendar ? astronomers say this is the day the Moon will be at its closest point to Earth in 70 years.

The event, known as the supermoon, occurs when a full or new moon passes closer to earth in its monthly orbit.

The coincidence will take place three times in 2016 ? October 16, November 14 and December 14.

But the November supermoon is special because it will be "the closest full moon to date in the 21st century", according to NASA.
