We're about to enter an unforgettable new Moon phase that may never come again and should not allow it to pass us by.

The next Super New Moon

According to our space agency, A “supermoon” occurs when a full moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, a point known as perigee. During every 27-day orbit around Earth, the Moon reaches both its perigee, about 226,000 miles (363,300 km) from Earth, and its farthest point, or apogee, about 251,000 miles (405,500 km) from Earth. Because the Moon’s orbit wobbles and differs depending on where the Sun and Earth are in their orbits, the exact distance of these closest and furthest points varies, and some supermoons are nearer or farther than others. “Supermoon” isn’t an official astronomical term, but typically it’s used to describe a full Moon that arrives within at least 90 percent of perigee.
