Second ‘Super Moon’ Of The Summer On August 10

Did you know that there is a hat trick of perigee moons this summer? That is, in July, August, and September, the full moon will coincide with the lunar orbit’s closest point to the Earth. This will make the moon look about ever-so-slightly bigger and brighter, causing the event to be nicknamed “super-moon.”




Hope I can take a few nice photos tonight but so far overcast here. moping

Michigan must be a bad spot to see the large moon. Last night, it looked normal to me. They say tonight should be bigger. I will see. :)
