Supermoon Coincides with Total Solar Eclipse and Asteroid’s TX68 Earth Flyby to Create Sensational Celestial Event

The moon turns new on March 8 or 9, 2016, depending on your time zone, the so-called Supermoon will line up with the sun to create a larger-than-average effect on Earth’s oceans.
The first Supermoon of 2016 coincides with the first eclipse of the year, a total eclipse of the sun on March 8-9, 2016.
The total solar eclipse will be visible from Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and from locations in the Pacific ocean.
