SUPERMOON

Last night, the near full-moon was shining brightly over Chicago. This full-moon was special as it was a so-called 'SUPERMOON.'  A SUPERMOON is the moon when its elliptical orbit brings it to its closest earth orbit. As a result it appears to be nearly 14% larger than normal. Although, this 14% increase is virtually impossible to note with the naked eye, it still was enough of an event for me to take an evening walk with my daughter to enjoy it. So we did.

After two urban hikes that added up to 20+ miles on Saturday, I was ready for a day of rest. My early evening walk with my daughter was five miles as we enjoyed the SUPERMOON hanging over the Chicago night. The five mile walk, satisfied' my fitbit which never likes ending the day below 10,000 steps.

SUPERMOON

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The term "supermoon" is not astronomical, but originated in modern astrology. The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing. The opposite phenomenon, an apogee-syzygy, has been called a micromoon, though this term is not as widespread as supermoon.
