Taipei Planetarium says that a super moon will be visible tonight, April 27, and May 26 will see a larger supermoon with an eclipse. Planetarium astronomers said that because of the moon’s elliptical orbit, the distance from the earth of every full moon is different. When the moon is closer to the earth, it appears bigger and brighter. Today’s full moon will rise at 6:36 pm and reach the perigee – the closest point of orbit to the earth –
