Super full moon to shine on Saturday

LOS ANGELES - THERE'S a full moon on Saturday, but it won't be just any old full moon. It'll be bigger and brighter. It will appear larger as it makes its closest approach to Earth in 18 years.

Scientists estimate the 'supermoon' rising in the east at sunset will appear 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter at its peak.
