Did you know?

A super worm moon happens when the moon reaches peak fullness while it is especially close to the earth (a point which astronomers call the "perigree"), causing it to appear much larger and brighter. "Peak fullness" refers to the time at which the moon is completely illuminated by the sun.

The difference can be significant, with the supermoon appearing up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than the full moon does when it is further away.
