Weekend full moon the biggest in about 20 years

The full moon this weekend will look close enough to touch, but it will still be some 211,600 miles from Earth.
Saturday's full moon will be a super "perigee moon" -- the biggest in almost 20 years. This celestial event is far rarer than the famed blue moon, which happens once about every two-and-a-half years.
