Also known as a perigee moon, the event occurs when a full moon lines up with the Earth and the sun at a specific point in its orbit, called the lunar perigee. The moon is nearest to Earth as it traces its elliptical path around our planet. Since it’s closer to us, the moon appears up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than usual. The term “supermoon” essentially means a bigger and brighter full moon. Can’t wait!
