By MARCIA DUNN, AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — October’s supermoon is the closest of the year and it’s teaming up with a comet for a rare stargazing two-for-one. The third of four supermoons this year, it will be 222,055 miles (357,364 kilometers) away Wednesday night, making it seem even bigger and brighter than in August and September.
