Supermoon

ai generated text

A supermoon is a full or new moon that nearly coincides with perigee, the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth, resulting in a larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk. The term supermoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, but it has no precise astronomical definition. Typically, three or four full or new moons per year can be classified as supermoons, which occur when the Moon is at perigee and the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned. The closest full supermoon of the 21st century will occur on December 6, 2052, and the most recent full supermoon occurred on November 15, 2024.learn more on wikipedia
