ChrLzs Posted July 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just so you know what they are talking about without having to watch the video - a supermoon is when the moon is full and at perigee (ie nearest us in its elliptical orbit). Here's the size difference between the moon at its most distant, and at its closest.. It's comin' right at us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
