People will get to see the first of two supermoons on 1 August, as the full moon rises in the southeast from a mere 222,159 miles away.

Supermoons take place when a full moon is near its closest point to Earth, making it appear up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter compared with when it is furthest away.
