Description
This is a close up image of the Super Moon photographed on July 14, 2022. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, 'the term 'supermoon' was coined by American astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 to describe both a new and a full moon occurring at or near (within 10 percent of) perigee. However, supermoon came to denote the more-restrictive meaning of a full moon at perigee, when the moon is closest to the earth."
Webster says, "a full moon occurring when the moon is at or near the closest point in its orbit A supermoon … occurs when the moon is full within 24 hours of being at its closest point to the Earth in its orbit."
