‘Supermoon’ Set to Rise This Weekend, NASA Says People Should Have No Fear (WATCH HERE)

NASA scientists have said there is nothing to worry about regarding the largest full moon of 2013, also known as "supermoon."

On June 23, the moon will reportedly reach perigee, the closest point to the Earth in the satellite's orbit around the planet according to Space.com.

"There should be no impact on anybody on the Earth," Petro said during an interview on NASA TV this week. "There should be nothing unusual except maybe for more people staring up at the moon, which should be a wonderful thing."

Click here on June 23 at approximately 9 p.m. to see a live webcast of the "supermoon" or just find a nice clear spot outside to watch the "supermoon" in person.

The best time to catch the "supermoon" is right after sunset on Saturday night, but it will be visible anytime this weekend according to Petro.

To see the "supermoon," walk outside and look to the east between today, June 21 and June 23.

The event has many people believing that natural disasters may occur, but there is little to no evidence to support these claims according to NASA experts.

At its closest approach on June 23, the moon will be approximately 221,824 miles from Earth. On average, the moon is about 238,900 miles from the Earth according to Space.com.
