A black supermoon is coming this week
The moon is going to be at its closest on Wednesday, February 18, but since it's a new moon, so you won't see a thing.
This is called a black supermoon, and it happens around three times a year. While there's nothing to look at, some superstitious people consider it significant.

But when the moon is new, like the one this Wednesday, then its invisible to us. The next supermoon, the third of six to happen in 2015, will take place on March 20th.
