I probably should have posted this a couple of days ago, but oh well.
The Supermoon of 2014 just occured this past weekend (August 10).
The Supermoon is not the newest superhero of DC or Marvel.
The Supermoon is the full moon happened to occur during perigee. The Moon appeared the largest because it happened to be at its closest in its orbit to Earth. Tides (which will be discussed further in a future post) happened to be a tad higher, but nothing else really is affected by a Supermoon. It's just cool to see the Moon so large.
