The result has been a wave of social movements - sometimes short-lived - from Wall St to Tel Aviv and from Istanbul to Rio de Janeiro, often engaging younger, better educated and wealthier members of society.

Paul Mason, economics editor of BBC2's Newsnight and author of Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere: The New Global Revolutions, has argued that a key factor, largely driven by new communication technologies, is that people have not only a better understanding of power but are more aware of its abuse, both economically and politically.

In the past week, at least 1 million people demonstrated nationwide although, as one beachgoer says, "We each had a different cause!"

More than 60,000 marched over the weekend, and a major protest is scheduled next Sunday for the final in Rio of the Confederation Cup soccer tournament, a run-up to next year's World Cup and 2016's Olympic Games, which are being held in Brazil.

What began as a protest against a 7% rise in bus fares has ballooned to encompass long-simmering issues such as health care, education and corruption.

The biggest full moon of 2013 will rise into the night sky on Sunday, June 23, and you can watch the lunar event live online with the online skywatching website Slooh Space Camera. The Slooh Space Camera will offer a free webcast of the supermoon full moon at 9 p.m. EDT on Sunday (0100 June 24 GMT).

A so-called supermoon occurs when the moon reaches its full phase shortly at the same time as it makes its closest approach to Earth for the year. The moon reaches perigee, the point in its orbit that is closest to Earth, each month, but there is a 3-percent variance in the exact distance of lunar perigee distance throughout an entire year.

During Slooh's Sunday webcast, the website will provide live views of the moon from remotely operated telescopes at its Canary Islands observatory. You can follow the webcast live on SPACE.com, or directly from the Slooh Space Camera website, or the Slooh iPad App.

Astronomer Bob Berman of Astronomy Magazine will provide commentary alongside Slooh's webcast team for Sunday's event.
