By mid-November, Chicago's World Series afterglow will have faded and the hotly contested presidential election will be done and dusted, but North Americans will have one more "once in a lifetime event" to look forward to: The biggest, most spectacular supermoon in decades.
On November 14, skywatchers will be rewarded with a lunar close-up, the result of a coincidence between the moon's elliptical orbit and the position of the Earth and Sun.
A "supermoon" is the colloquial term for when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth, known as perigee.
Supermoon, Black Moon, the Cubs winning the World Series...the signs are upon us. The end is nigh.

As far as you can tell, but we really don't know enough about them to even say that. They look better because they are not Trump or Clinton, but that's about as far as you can take that at this point.

Correction: you don't know enough about them.
I lived in New Mexico under Johnson. He's a competent administrator. Not perfect by any means, but I would have minimal concerns over a Johnson presidency. He did quite well as governor.
