This month’s supermoon is one for the record books, as it’s the largest and brightest moon seen in the sky since 1948. On November 13 and 14, the moon was at its perigee-the closest point to earth during its orbit-and will not be this close again until November 25, 2034, according to NASA. During this time, the moon appears 15 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than a typical full moon, with ocean tides running higher than usual.  Also known as the Mega Beaver Moon, from colonial times when beaver traps were set in November, and the perigee-syzygy moon by astronomers, the satellite will be 221,519 miles away from earth at its closest point. More than 60 people lined the shores of Conimicut Point Sunday evening to get the best view of the rising celestial body. (Warwick Beacon photos by John Howell)
