Supermoon over Central Alberta

Approximately 14 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter the full moon Sunday evening was the brightest and largest it will be for 2013. The Supermoon or perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun cycle is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the moon makes to Earth on its elliptical orbit.
