Barbara Goulding : SUPER MOON, JUNE 23, 2013 What Is A Supermoon? Basically, a supermoon occurs when it is a full moon... SUPER MOON, JUNE 23, 2013 What Is A Supermoon? Basically, a supermoon occurs when it is a full moon, and the elliptical orbit of the moon is closest to the Earth. The term supermoon is used in reference to the apparent increase in size of tee moon disk as observed from Earth. It may be worth noting that the term ‘supermoon’ is used by modern astrologists, not astronomers. The term was originally defined as a new moon which occurs with the Moon at or near its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit (Nolle 1979). To simplify the occurrence; the Earth, Moon and Sun are all inline, and the Moon is in it’s nearest approach to Earth. Usually, astronomers refer to the occurrence as the ‘perigee-syzgy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system’, and refer to it as perigee-syzgy. ‘Perigee’ is the point in which the Moon is at the point it it’s orbit that is closest to Earth, and ‘syzgy’ is a full moon (when the Earth and Sun are aligned). On average, about once a year there is a full moon (‘syzgy’) within a few hours of a ‘perigee’. There have been a number of claims and superstitions that the supermoon phenomenon is associated with an increased risk of natural disasters. However, the majority of the evidence for these claims is widely held to be unconvincing. During a supermoon occurrence, it is estimated that the moon appears roughly 11% larger, and 30% brighter. While this may seem like a fairly significant differentiation, the typical observer would not notice the difference. It may be worth reminding readers that photographers can easily accentuate the characteristics of the supermoon occurrence with the usage of telephoto lenses and telescopes.

Lots of people have been posting about tonight's Perigee "Super moon" -- the largest and brightest moon of 2012. I had a vague idea that I wanted to shoot it as well when +Nicole S. Young reminded me of it with her post today... Then I forgot and got lost in shooting other things. I had driven out to Kualoa Park and was shooting some in the opposite direction of the Super Moon when I noticed a gang of photographers assembling off in the distance. Several asked me if I was part of the "ISO club" ... I guess it's a local Hawaii photography group. "Oh yah! The Super Moon, I thought." But I kept shooting in the opposite direction, because I wasn't seeing any moon, let a lone a Super one. While I was off minding my non-moon business, suddenly I heard a small cheer from a group of locals partying on the beach. The moon had just peaked its head above the water and clouds. I immediately realized I was in the worst position, far, far away from being in a place to get anything interesting. I started huffing over towards a spot on the beach where I could get a good angle of the moon as it rose next to a famous rock formation here called Chinaman's Hat. Eventually I got into a position I liked and though I did capture a few more "standard" moon shots, this is the one I chose to share. By the time I took this shot, the entire photography club had gone home. I thought I was so smart because I'd waited it out and got this unique shot of the moon lighting up the entire sky behind the clouds! But I didn't feel so smart when I tried to leave the park 20 minutes later and found the gates locked. I have a Jeep and I started looking for ways to 4x4 it out of there, but there were rock walls and huge barriers in every direction. Then I thought of calling some local police buddies I have... Then I thought I was going to be camping there all night! Hahaha.. Eventually I met some other locals who got stuck inside the park as well. Turns out I wasn't the only one who had been too busy paying attention to the moon to notice closing time! They had already contacted someone who came and let us all out. Phew! I was already feeling hungry! Funny, last time I "disappeared" from the Interwebz for awhile, my return was precipitated by the desire to shoot and share the Lunar Eclipse that happened in December (http://bit.ly/ICGD9W ). Likewise, I guess tonight's "super moon" marks my return. I decided to go for a little isolation this week, and hadn't been online much. As you can figure out from this post, I'm in Hawaii and have been enjoying some solitude and lots of photography, but not posting about it on Google+ . I think I'll start posting again, now. :-) Hello G+! 1 day ago - Via Reshared Post - View - Tyler Whitaker : 1 day ago - Via Google+ - View - Elena Zafeiriou : Υπάρχουν 4-6 supermoons ετησίως κατά μέσο όρο Υπάρχουν 4-6 supermoons ετησίως κατά μέσο όρο Is biggest, closest full moon on June 23, 2013 a supermoon? | EarthSky.org The closest and largest full moon of 2013 comes on June 23.

If you want to impress your friends next time you go stargazing and happen to catch this phenomenon you can tell them that the actual astronomical term for a supermoon is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system.

As with all astrology, these cosmic events don’t influence your life or make things happen, though they are emblematic of distinct themes. 7 days ago - Via Google+ - View -
