Perigee moon...



Supermoon: not as rare as you might think. In fact it occurs, on average, every 13 months when the perigee moon, as it is known, makes its closest approach to Earth. However, we have three such moons this year, which is rare. The last one was in July and the next will be on 9th September. Despite the name the moon only appears about 14% bigger than usual.
