First of several potential supermoons hits the skies this weekend

The moon will be full on Sunday when it makes one of its closest approaches to Earth of the year, a co-occurrence some call a supermoon.

Because the definition of supermoon is subjective, sky-gazers differ on how many there will be this year — some say two, some say three or four.
