As predicated, the “super moon” peeks out of the clouds.

A “super moon” is a full moon that occurs when the moon is at its perigee. When the moon and the sun are on both sides of the earth, and the longitude of the moon and the sun differs by 180 degrees, from the earth, the moon at this time is the most round, called “full moon”, also known as “look”. The 14th, 15th, 16th and even 17th of each lunar month are when the full moon may appear.

According to the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there is no such thing as a “super moon” in astronomy. The term was coined in 1979 by Richard Knoller, an astrologer whose counterpart is perigee-syzygy, or perigee syzygy. To this day, there is no single standard for a “super moon.” A full moon or new moon occurs when the center of the moon is no more than 360,000km from the center of the Earth.
