This is the closest the moon will get to earth until 2034 and it will be visible in Viet Nam.

People in Viet Nam will be able to see a record-breaking supermoon brightening up the night sky on Monday evening.

The supersized moon, an astrological phenomenon wherein the moon appears 14% closer to earth and 30% brighter than usual, will be visible at around 8:52pm, Ha Noi time.

The November full moon is the closest full moon since 1948, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Mr Vu The Hoang, the Chairman of the Ha Noi Amateur Astronomers, said the event isn’t particularly rare because full moons occur near perigee every 13 months and 18 days.

He added that the moon will look full and bright on the nights of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in Viet Nam.

The supermoon will create higher-than-usual tides due to gravity, but it will not cause tsunamis, Dang Vu Tuan Son, the Chairman of the Viet Nam Astronomy and Cosmology Association, told Vietnam News Agency.

"When the moon is near the horizon, it can look unnaturally large when viewed through trees, buildings, or other foreground objects," said NASA. "The effect is an optical illusion, but that fact doesn’t take away from the experience.”
