Here's the countdown to when you can witness history.

If you only see one astronomical event this year, make it Sunday night/Monday morning's supermoon.

This is the closest the Moon will get to Earth until November 25, 2034, so you really don’t want to miss this one!

The moon will look plenty full and bright all night on November 13 and 14 as it rises in the east around sunset, climbs highest around midnight and then sets in the west at or near sunrise, EarthSky reports.

Now if you're like me and don't have the stamina to stay up all night or wake up early for something like this, the good people at Space.com have figured out the exact moment the full moon will be at it's peak viewing time on Monday:

They say it'll shine it's brightest at 7:52 a.m. central time!

A supermoon occurs when the moon is slightly closer to Earth than it typically is, and the effect is most noticeable when it occurs around the same time as a full moon.

Supermoons aren’t all that uncommon either. In fact, we just had one on October 16, and after Monday's super-supermoon, we’ll have another one on December 14!
