Skywatchers looking up this Saturday night (May 5) at the full moon may sense it’s a bit more striking than usual- and they won’t be imagining it. Thanks to coincidental timing of the moon being at its closest approach to Earth for 2012 while in its full phase, our planet’s companion will appear 16% larger and 30% brighter than usual. While some are calling it a supermoon, astronomers say that the hype surrounding its supposed ’super-effects’ on Earth are unwarranted.
For thousands of years connections between the motion and phase of the moon have been made with various happening here on Earth from timing of harvests to ocean navigation, so making the leap that the Moon not only reflects, but actually controls natural occurrences is very understandable, astronomers say. But now we have physics and astronomy on our side and we know pretty well what’s possible and what is not.

Photo taken using a Nikon D40 attached to Skywatcher ED80 refractor. Exposure is of 17min and 2s. Composite image, no dark frames. No autoguiding was used during the taking of the images. Processing was done using DeepSky Stacker and GIMP.
Shot with a Canon t1i on a 190mm Skywatcher Maksutov Newtonian telescope using an Antares 1.6x 2" barlow.
I had the telescope setup in a small park next to the Fraser River. Over 3 hours I had about a dozen people stop by to chat and look at the moon, most of them had come out specifically to see the super moon and were excited to find a telescope waiting for them :)
Despite all the media hype, the moon passes closest to us once per month. The moon is only just a little closer and a little brighter than usual this time around. The numbers quoted in the media compared the brightness and size of the 'super' moon with how the moon looks 2 weeks later at it's furthest point from earth. Yipee 'Super' journalists.
Processed with just a bit of stretching, contrast etc. I took many exposures for stacking of this view at some point.
