A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system.
This summer, our first instance was on July 12th. The photos below were taken around August 10th and the final supermoon of the summer will occur on September 9th!
