What is a Supermoon Infographic?

At the beginning of this feature article we discussed why the moon is occasionally much closer to the Earth than normal. The reasons are mainly due to the orbital path, however this supermoon infographic from 2014 does a much better job of explaining why. It illustrates clearly why supermoons occur every few years or so. The next time a supermoon takes place you should know exactly what to expect.

Monday’s scenic night time supermoon event was regarded as one of the biggest and most spectacular set of full moons in a series of three unique supermoons to take place this year.
When Can I see the Next Supermoon?
The first of these amazing night time events in 2016 was on October 16. The third is due at the end of the year on the night of December 14, 2016.
After that, there are no more moons quite like this until the moon makes a similar approach to the Earth in the year 2034.
So the bad news folks is that the next supermoon is not due for a few decades to come. However most people will gain another chance to view the moon. The moon is due to loom large in the night sky once again during their lifetime.
