NASA Worthy: How Tortillas Helped The Supermoon Challenge

The supermoon is a celestial event that some only glimpse once in a lifetime. This past Monday night, some drove to remote, dark locations, while others needed only to step into their backyards to witness the supermoon. NASA scientists said that Monday’s supermoon was the biggest and brightest the moon has been to us on Earth since 1948.

But not every person had a chance to see it. A combination of cloudy skies, light pollution and parent curfews hindered some from viewing the historical moon, but that didn’t stop Twitter users from visualizing what the supermoon looked like.

As it turns out, a tortilla slapped on the window simulates the supermoon pretty darn well. Fair warning: You really might never see a sight like this again throughout your lifetime.

Forget The Pizza Pie!
