According to NASA, the moon looks as much as 14% bigger when it is nearest to Earth on its elliptical orbit, as well as up to 30% brighter. It occurs once every 14 full moons in a full moon cycle. While many have associated the supermoon with natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to it's oceanic and crustal tides, there has been little evidence to support this. If you've missed the chance to see it the past weekend, fret not - the supermoon will be back on August 10, 2014.
In picture, the supermoon is a big ball of orange against the night sky at the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore.
Anyway is there any astronmer here?
Just wanted to ask, if the moon is orbiting earth, why would it be of different distance from earth at difference time?
Is it becoz the gravitional pull at north pole, south pole and the equatorial different?
think there is a spaceship moving slowly on moon surface if u look at moon closer...:0
Oh...?
Tat's just Santa on his sledge and ET on his bicycle...
Shyt, gotta tell both of them to be more careful next time...
