00:00A micro-moon is set to appear in the skies this Saturday night, occurring when the full moon is at its farthest point from Earth, making it look slightly smaller and dimmer, a subtle difference that may be hard to detect with the naked eye.
00:13Micro-moons and super-moons happen several times each year as the moon's orbit aligns with its full phase.
00:19Following this weekend's micro-moon, another is expected in May, with three super-moons expected in October, November, and December.
