MUThe first supermoon of 2026 will rise big and bright, about 14% larger and nearly 30% brighter than a typical full moon. 🌕🐺
On January 3, the Moon reaches perigee, its closest point to Earth, capping off a rare streak of four supermoons in a row. Bonus: the Quadrantid meteor shower peaks the same night, sending bright fireballs across the sky.
