Today sees an event of some magnitude as the moon will appear closest to Earth for the first time in nearly 70 years.
Take the opportunity as this will not occur again for another eighteen years. You don't need to be all up on astronomical facts and figures, just be aware it's something we may not witness again in our lifetimes.
Here is a comprehensive explanation of tonight's showpiece event.
