That's because the moon is closest to the Earth. In fact, the moon will come within 226,000 miles of Earth, significantly closer than at other times in its orbit. As a result, the moon will appear approximately 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon, creating a striking visual display.

Hurricane Milton has rapidly intensified into a Powerful 5 Category Storm with 160mph winds and is moving ESE at 9mph. It will make landfall on the west coast of Florida Wednesday PM-Thursday AM. Milton will maintain its Category 5 status a little while longer. Some wind shear aloft on its approach to Florida may weaken the storm to a Category 3, but a Cat 3 is still a MAJOR HURRICANE. A Hurricane WATCH is posted for much of Florida.
