The brightest supermoon of the year is set to light up the skies above Gedling borough this weekend.
December’s full moon – which is traditionally known as the Cold Moon – will appear in the sky 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than usual on Sunday (3).
The moon will be at its brightest above the borough at around 4:47pm.
It will shine a bright white in the sky and experts claim you won’t need telescopes or special equipment to see it.
Local stargazer Tom Warner, who lives in Arnold, said he hopes people will be able to get a clear view of the special moon over weekend.
He said: “As long as the skies stay clear then the December supermoon, which is also called the cold moon, should be seen with the naked eye.”
The first supermoon of the year was visible on January 12, and the second was on November 3.
