Supermoon over Taylor Beach and Parry Bay

A perigee moon or “supermoon” tonight over Taylor Beach.

“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 perigeesyzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system.” ref .Wikipedia.
