Introduction

A Supermoon is one of the most breathtaking cosmic events visible from Earth.
It occurs when the Moon reaches its closest point to our planet in its orbit (called perigee)
while also being a full moon. The result? A Moon that looks larger, brighter, and more dramatic than usual,
captivating skywatchers across the globe.

What Makes a Supermoon Special?

• Appears up to 14% larger than a typical full moon.
• Shines about 30% brighter, making night skies glow.
• Influences Earth’s oceans, creating higher-than-usual tides known as perigean spring tides.

This rare alignment happens a few times each year, offering both scientific insights and cultural wonder.
