Lunar lovers of NSW, we’ve got news. Moon-gazers in the Harbour City are in for a dazzling celestial show this week, as the biggest and brightest supermoon of the year is set to light up our skies (and the forecast is looking clear).

Coming within 356,980 kilometres of Earth, this month’s moon is the closest of the bunch.
