This is the summer of supermoons and there has never been a great time to ogle at the unusually bright and large moon than this season. If you missed the August 10 supermoon, which is considered the biggest and brightest of the lot this year, you'll have to wait until 2034 to see something like it again, as we've reported last week.

Why is this month's megamoon the most "super" of 2014? "Because at a distance of 221,765 miles (356,896 kilometers) from Earth, our satellite will come closer this time than it did in July or will in September," The Huffington Post explained.

"For just 26 minutes at around 6.10pm, the moon will reach its full perigee stage, taking it to within 221,765 miles of earth," The Independent added. "Sunday's supermoon will also coincide with the Perseid meteor shower, a yearly occurrence that will see more than 100 meteors appear in our skies over the weekend."

What makes this event even special is that it can be visible to urbanites living in areas that are plagued by light pollution.

"Normally, when cool stuff is happening in the night sky, we miss it because of the light pollution. But there's no such thing as too much light pollution to see the moon. All you need is nighttime and a clear sky. If you live in a city and want to share in the awe of the cosmos, this is the astronomical event for you," Shawn Domagal-Goldman a researcher at NASA, was quoted by Mashable as saying.

If for some reason you would like to view the supermoon from the comforts of your own home indoors, you can check out the live stream at Space.com.
