Tonight's supermoon

Have you seen the supermoon tonight?





What makes tonight's full moon different from other full moons this year?

This is the closest full moon of the calendar year. The moon orbits around the Earth but it's not a perfect circle so this is it's closest approach. 


What kind of moon can I see?

The perigee moon will seem 14% larger and 30% brighter than the smallest full moon of the year. 


How many supermoons are there this year?

There is only one supermoon, ie the closest to the Earth and it is tonight!
