Tonight's Supermoon is also the Snow Moon; so named because it occurs when there is snow on the ground in this month. Clearly this is not the case everywhere, but I am suddenly intrigued by the many names it has acquired.
Native Americans referred to it as the Hunger Moon, whilst others call it the Storm Moon. Whatever moniker you wish to attach to Earth's satellite, it appears it has taken a bit of a battering over the years.
