The Full Moon on November 14th was the biggest and brightest until 2034. It was about 30,000 miles closer than usual. A moon can be called a “Supermoon” if it is up to 14% bigger and appears 30% brighter when it is at its farthest point in orbit. The moon orbit around Earth varies as it has an elliptical orbit. The next one similar to this one is expected to be on Monday November 25th, 2034. I do not think I will be staying up to photograph that one!

The Supermoon on August 10th will be the largest and brightest in the past 20 years, as stated by NASA. There was also a meteor shower, but the brightness of the Supermoon made seeing it more difficult. The next Supermoon will be on September 9th, the last one this year.
