Tonight … 2018's largest supermoon

Enjoy the most super supermoon of the year tonight. January 2 for Asia, Australia, New Zealand.

A supermoon's extra pull of gravity creates higher-than-usual tides. But the moon's pull doesn't affect a human body nearly as powerfully as it does an ocean.

The New Horizons flyby of Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69 - one year from today, on January 1, 2019 - will be the most distant in the history of space exploration.

Moonlight for 2018 Quadrantid meteors

The 2018 Quadrantid meteor shower is expected to exhibit its narrow peak January 3 around 21-22 hours UTC. The full supermoon nearly coincides, and moonlight will interfere with the shower.
