As we are encouraged to maintain social distance and the parks and public places are closed, we can still enjoy our night skies. Reporter Hilary Sloane will tell you about the next heavenly event tonight—if the clouds clear…
Most of your regular activities are canceled due to social distancing rules, but stargazing is one event that’s in full swing. After sunset on April 7, go outside at your own home to view the Supermoon, the biggest and brightest full moon of the year.

Because the full moon falls on the exact day of perigee that month, it’ll be the most impressive.
