The Supermoon
The November 14, 2016 Supermoon was 356,511 kilometres (221,526 mi) away from the centre of Earth, the closest occurrence since 1948. It will not be closer again until 2034.
The name supermoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, defined as:
… a new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit. In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.
Fun Fact
