KOSCIUSKO COUNTY — Step outside tonight and get a look at the largest supermoon since 1948.

A supermoon occurs when the moon becomes full on the same day as its perigee, the point in the moon’s orbit when it is closest to Earth. This supermoon is the largest since 1948 and the moon won’t come this close to Earth again until November 2034.

If you missed a chance to check it out last night, make sure to take a peek tonight.
