A supermoon happens when a full moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, called perigee. This makes the Moon appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than when it’s at its farthest point, or apogee.

#SuperMoon tonight Friday September 29th when there's a full moon at the same time the Moon is closest to Earth.
Because the Moon doesn't orbit around Earth in a perfect circle, there are times when the Moon is closer to Earth — it's called the #perigee.

Also #daylightsaving - clocks one hour forward - from 2am Sunday October 1st 2023.
