It's a bird. It's a plane. No...it's Supermoon!
That's right, for those who were lucky enough to have clear skies, we were treated to an awfully large glowing site this past Saturday evening.
On the night of May 5, 2012 a Super Moon appeared in the night sky and I felt compelled to at least get a shot of it, although I wasn't overly happy with my images from the evening. To be honest, the moon isn't my favourite subject to photograph. But with all the hype, I had to get something.
I grabbed my gear and headed to the highest point in the city and once the moon cleared the clouds and it was dark enough I managed to get a couple of shots.
Supermoons occur when the moon's closest approach to the Earth — known as perigee — coincides with a full moon. The moon has an elliptical orbit with one side about 50,000 kilometres closer than the other.
And now you know.
