Full moons happen every lunar cycle, but the one happening on August 10 will be unlike any moon we have seen so far this year.
Not only it will be the biggest and brightest full moon for all of 2014, it will coincide with the peak time of the Perseid Meteor shower.
When the moon is full as it makes its closest pass to Earth, it becomes a "Supermoon.” During this time, the moon will appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger.
Experts say the moon will be up to 31,000 miles closer to Earth than other full moons this year. According to NASA, the next time a full moon will pass this close to Earth will be in September 2015.
