The next full moon falls on June 23, 2013 at 11:32 UTC. (US time zones: 4:32 am PDT, 5:32 a.m. MDT, 6:32 a.m. CDT, 7:32 a.m. for other time zones you can click the link to convert 11:32 UTC to your local time and date). This full moon will be called supermoon or super full moon or perigee full moon because of the closest approach of the full moon to the Earth for all of 2013. Supermoon could be up to 30% brighter and 14% larger then at its apogee furthest point.
