Super Moon


This weekend there will be a "super moon" in the sky. A super moon - called a "perigee full moon" by astronomers - describes the moon’s closest approach to Earth for a particular month.

The June super moon will be the full moon’s closest encounter with Earth this year. On June 23, the time of full moon will take place within an hour of the time of perigee. So, the June 23rd full moon will look larger than it does in other months and there will not be a full moon so close again until August, 2014.

Where will you be? I'll be tagging along with the Jo'burg Photowalkers!
