A micromoon will grace the night skies this weekend
NEW YORK (AP) - There’s a micromoon coming up.
The full moon will look slightly smaller and dimmer on Saturday night. But the change may be tricky to spot with the naked eye.
"It’s a very subtle difference," said astrophysicist Alain Brizard from Saint Michael’s College in Vermont.
The phenomenon happens when the moon is at a point farthest away from Earth. It’s opposite to a supermoon, where the moon swings closer to Earth and looks a bit larger.
