This supermoon will be the closest moon to Earth in 2021, according to EarthSky.
There are two to four supermoons each year. These lunar events are often a brilliant sight
to see because they are brighter and larger than a normal full moon. The definition of a supermoon varies, but it’s generally defined by how close the moon is to the Earth.
May’s supermoon will also be the first total lunar eclipse since January 2019, according to EarthSky. It will take the moon just over three hours to cross through the Earth’s shadow, but the actual lunar eclipse will last under 15 minutes.
In a pandemic move made permanent, Washington's five public universities and Evergreen State College will no longer require the SAT or ACT for admission.
