Mumbai disappointed as clouds take the shine out of 'supermoon'

<p>Most Mumbaikars left disappointed as cloudy weather denies them the experience&nbsp;of witnessing the last and brightest full moon of the current calendar year</p>

Listen to this article :

Even as stargazers in the city were looking forward to witnessing yesterday's supermoon, which was also the last full moon of the year, many were left disappointed as the moderately cloudy sky played spoilsport. The supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is closest to the earth. Supermoons appear about 14 per cent bigger and about 30 per cent brighter than a normal full moon as seen from the Earth.
