Attention US-based skywatchers! February 19 will be the perfect day to gaze upon the Earth's lunar satellite, thanks to a not-so-little thing called the Snow Supermoon.

On that special Tuesday, starting at roughly 10:53 a.m. EST, the moon will be at its fullest while at a distance of about 221,000 miles from Earth, which is 17,000 miles closer than the average distance, according to USA Today.

NASA reports that the moon will appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than a full moon at its farthest point from Earth.
