Something's brewing on November 14, and it's a record-breaking big one.

We're talking about the full moon, which will be the biggest since 1948. It's also the closest full moon to Earth in the 21st century, and the brightest supermoon this year. Basically, a supermoon is a full moon that comes closest to Earth on its elliptical orbit, and that results in the largest size of the moon as seen from Earth.

The one on November 14 is one of three supermoons at the end of 2016 — the first was on October 16, and the last will be on December 14. 

Here's a little explainer.
