Lunar perigee coincides closely with the full moon roughly every 14 months. At perigee (closest approach of the moon to earth) the moon looks about 7% large than the average full moon. It will be a bit hard to notice. Lat time perigee and full moon coincided so perfectly was ~19 yrs ago. Next "supermoon" will be May 6, 2012.
