Supermoon over windmill
Supermoon over windmill. A supermoon is a Full Moon that occurs when the Moon is at its perigee, its closest approach to the Earth. In addition to this, the Full Moon rising near the horizon results in an optical illusion that makes the Moon appear larger than it is compared to objects in the foreground. This is the month's second Full Moon (the 'Blue Moon'), photographed in January 2018, in Sesimbra, Portugal. Photo by MIGUEL CLARO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
