supermoon

Last night we enjoyed another supermoon or perigee moon, a supermoon is when a full moon coincides with the moons closest approach to Earth following it's elliptical orbit or perigee.
This was the view from my garden shortly before midnight, apparently it appeared at it's largest around half past four this morning, but I was tucked up in bed then!

  1. The moon was lovely to see, very bright I noticed. I went out at 1am to look and it was as if a light was on. Lovely.
