Hunter's Moon
Tonight's supermoon rising above Lake Michigan, on October 18th, 2024...
It is called a supermoon (Perigee) because it is 30,000 miles closer to the earth than other full moons when the are furthest from the earth (Apogee micromoons).
This means it is 14% larger and 30% brighter than those other full moons!
Here the moon is 222, 056 miles from the earth.
This is the first of a series of images featuring this supermoon... Enjoy!
