Moon to be closest to Earth today

According to the Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory of ANAS, 14 November the Moon will be closest to Earth. This event is considered the largest convergence of the Earth and the Moon for the past 68 years. Today, the Moon will appear about 14 percent more than usual.

It should be noted that, the similar distance was registered in 1948 and is still going to happen in 2034.
