What is a supermoon?
Supermoon is a full or new moon that occurs with a perigee. Perigee is the moon's closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit.
This results in a moon which appears larger than its usual size when observed from earth. The technical name for the same is perigee conjunction.
This larger than usual moon grabs attention of not only astronomers, but also of many photographers too.

Supermoon doesn't cause any natural disaster but however, it can cause a few inches longer tides than usual full moons.
The term 'supermoon' is attributed to astronomer Richard Nolle.
Out of the possible 12 or 13 full or new moons each year, usually three or four may be classified as supermoons.

I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
