The first of two August supermoons is on the rise. Here's how to see them in SoCal.🌕

Attention all stargazers and moon lovers: August will feature two celestial treats as the month will begin and end with supermoons.

The farthest point in this orbit is called the apogee, which is on average about 253,000 miles from Earth. A supermoon is a term used to describe when a full moon appears at perigee. Due to its close proximity to the Earth, the moon will appear up to about 14% larger and 30% brighter during this phenomenon.
