Super Moon
SUPER MOON THIS WEEKEND!
The night of June 22 into June
23 will feature a full moon, but it may look more impressive than any full moons
seen so far this year. The moon will be at its lunar perigee, the closest it
will get to the Earth in 2013, at the time of this full moon, which will make it
look somewhat larger than usual.
According to AccuWeather's Mark
Paquette, the term "Supermoon" (technically called a Perigee Full Moon by
astronomers) was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle. It is used to describe full
moon (or a new moon) that is at 90 percent or greater of its closest perigee to
Earth.
