Saudi Gazette reportJEDDAH — The closest giant full moon or supermoon of 2023, also known as buck moon, will be seen in the skies of Saudi Arabia and the Arab world on Monday.

As the moon orbits the earth in an elliptical shape rather than in a circle, its distance to earth varies over time.Majed Abu Zahra, president of the Astronomical Society in Jeddah, said that a...
