Of the three supermoons appearing in the nighttime sky this Summer, the one that will be visible this Sunday will be the second biggest as well as the brightest of them all.

A Russian cosmonaut has just published spectacular images of the giant moon orbiting the Earth, which were sent by Stargazers. A series of images taken from the International Space Station and posted by the Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev on his Twitter account tracks the supermoon's journey behind the earth.

In fact, the pictures, described as "moonset" by Artemyev, come only hours before the experience is shared in real time by the stargazers of Earth. The view of the moon this time around will be the biggest and brightest it's been in the last 20 years.

This supermoon, which can also be called by its scientific name, perigee moon, is evidently a rare sight to see. his supermoon is appearing 30 percent brighter compared to the normal and will appear 14 percent bigger as it reaches the point of its orbit closest to Earth - about 221,765 away from the planet.

The most recent supermoon happened on July 12, and produced some spectacular sights and images. The next supermoon, following Sunday's, will be September 9.

The moon will become full in the United States at 2:00 p.m. ET, and will light up the sky from Sunday evening to early Monday morning. The moon looks its biggest when it is at the horizon, so experts suggest checking out the supermoon around the time of moonrise to get the best view.

NASA said, "The illusion occurs when the Moon is near the horizon," adding, "For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects."
