What Is A Supermoon? | Video

When the Full Moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth, we get a "Supermoon' also known as the Perigee Full Moon. The full Moon appeared about 14% larger and 30% brighter than others on May 5, 2012.

Some months ago I literally saw a huge moon, I was feeling like the moon is coming down. It was beautiful. Very beautiful. That time I didn't know something like this even exist. I was in my roof. And I called my dad, as soon as he came the moon is hidden behind the clouds. I was feeling like that was my Grandma, visiting me. Her name's meaning was shining of moon. Idk it was a special moment. And only I saw that moment. Whenever I called my dad, in some second it hid behind clouds.

Happy Super Full Moon Weekend. This is it the brightest one for the rest of 2014. Have a great weekend.

[@huyu9242]

It's all glowy here, it's freakin' awesome!!!!! Love our moon!!

[@ItzDatArcher]

Man i was in first grade when i saw my first supermoon thanks to this video.... man and now im a junior in high school miss those days 😞

[@hziebicki]

I've seen one near my house recently. It's amazing

[@magiifalcondrawdy6532]

I do hope for clear skies! Positive thinking ~ it will be clear! I want some great pics. of the moon. So I am building my steps now!!

[@chrisg3030]

Mountains forming a horizon seen from across a valley or plain often appear to be somehow closer in spatial distance than in journey time, and I wonder if that might be an example of the same effect. I say effect rather than illusion since the magnification could be a neurological adaptation, a kind of useful internal telescope that helps us move about on the planet but only incidentally applies to the moon as well.

[@VideoFromSpace]

Sim meu amigo!

[@JustALaddd]

i've seen the low moon yesterday it's beatiful

[@Macsk8ing]

I saw a super moon like in 2007 or 2006 in Arizona, can't really remember the year but it was AMAZING! I hope I can see another one again.

[@WildRiverTom1]

Yea, good question - I was wondering the same thing! I will have to research the whole super "perigee moon" thing and find out what is different from last March.

[@margyoan97]

I remember when I was little (around 7) I say a super moon "hanging" over our villa in Pavel Bania... It was HUGE and it a brilliant blue (as far as I could remember)... It looked as if it was going to drop on me and my family (my grandma only to be exact) any second.

[@pinkpanther958]

Thts a beautiful memory😇

[@MrFlyspray]

That's a lie

[@kellyduong123]

I saw the supermoon like in around 2006,I don't really remember but I remember it scare the hell out of me

[@ankushzap]

Today is quite big in my area , so I searched for this

[@ShahNawaz-dz9kd]

excellent...

[@Yuridasu]

When I was younger (in 2009 I think) I seen supermoon. It was looking so beatiful :P

[@majesticphoenix8357]

I remember seeing a full supermoon I was shook and thought judgement day was close

[@VideoFromSpace]

Oh there's a Moon, alright. Ya just don't see much of it at night. We're at the New Moon, where the Moon is mostly between the Sun and the Earth (when a solar eclipse can occur). So it's only a sliver of a crescent at most and is most seen only in the daytime sky when it can be hard to spot. But it's there!

[@VideoFromSpace]

Uhh...maybe because it's their "fault line," their power grid, their people and their nuclear reactor?

[@tashawnapraddy5482]

I saw this yesterday. It was a strawberry super moon. It was fantastic.

[@Danciatko]

cool big moon !

[@DanThePhilosopher]

Its july 3rd 2012 and im in riverside CA it looks pretty super tonight. it caught my eye.

[@FraserKenzoBucket]

I am now excited for this now tonight (23rd June 2013)

[@WhatThyFunk]

The general population would see it being 'Bigger' rather than taking a second and making sense of it just being closer due to it's egg-like shaped orbit.

[@iseecheese]

this evening for the first maybe 10 minutes the moon over TX was a light red moon then quickly changed to yellow and stayed yellow for awhile may 5th at sunset

[@johnh1001]

If you have a super moon all the fish in the ocean go running away until tomorrow .

[@Bayubadu]

here also, I saw only storm lightnings last night

[@LilPedro006]

more scary than beautiful

[@cookiefartlpslover7459]

I can't wait

[@awtumn1108]

It happened here already ... Omg it was so bright and big

[@nuciance]

It happened this morning around 2 a.m. it woke me up because the light was so bright.

[@AlixxxxGxxxAl]

Robot Man, I like it!! haha

[@breckandy]

What I saw was a brilliant pink/orange moon just now

[@MrPerti8]

the report said that it would be at 11.35 pm, but where is that? I know somewhere in the States, and I live in Chile, so i want to know out time difference

[@xXjoe2000Xx]

Its also going to happen in Holland tonight! :D

[@CliffTate]

Will take some images with me telescope if skies clear

[@bigpoppa800]

........I wonder which Apollo missions, happened while a full moon was happening???

[@Futurist2029]

I thought the enlarged appearance of the moon near the horizon was due to the way we perceive light through our atmosphere (our atmosphere acts like a magnifying glass)... for example, distant stars appear brighter when viewed from the Earth's surface because of the way our atmosphere magnifies the intensity of the incoming light, but those same stars appear more dull when viewed from space. Perhaps I'm over thinking...

[@VideoFromSpace]

Orbiting Moon. Relax. The Moon orbited MUCH closer in the past. And Earth life continued evolving, happy as a clam.

[@BoyArmor]

Since it's the moon, it could be seen from everywhere correct??

[@HappDeeNess]

I'm confused... I thought the news last year was saying Super Moons only come around once ever like 18 years... so why is there a super moon in May when we had one last year?

[@SamSweetland]

When is the next one?

[@oopsadaze]

AT 12: 34 in the Morning Central Time-here in the good old USA...If I can Stay Awake?

[@Snazzgasm]

The moon looks bigger on the horizon because you have reference objects nearby

[@ItzMeCrispy]

i am scary and excited at the same time woohoo :]

[@dancingram79]

No... I missed both :( when is the next one??

[@xXjoe2000Xx]

Well, I just looked out pf my window, and there are low clouds so I guess I'm not so lucky(again) to see this....

[@VideoFromSpace]

It's happening. Got sky?

[@viktorass23]

So why does everyone always says average moon distance

[@16srt392]

no wonder because i was swimming in my pool and all of a sudden everything looked kinda orange

[@ryanbenedictteleron2162]

I'm in the Philippines. in November 14.THERE'S A SUPER MOON!

[@Sanchez831Cali]

I had a question for the past 3 nights theres no moon and i was wondering is that normal or something is going on and we dont know about! any body knows why?

[@SoThisOneDude]

Why don't they just call it the perihelion and aphelion? What's the difference between that and perigee/apogee?

[@baddiesimss]

I get freaked out a little whenever the moon looks big and a couple of hours ago I was nervous to see it but too bad it's cloudy I'm kinda upset about it

[@vigo894]

They're all at a Team Jacob convention. Don't worry about it.

[@extand84]

bruh I was snook fishing and litterly all the docks were flooded and water was over the sea wall and it was 1-2 feet higher then normal lol

[@TheDmario1234]

COOL

[@Danciatko]

cool i like supermoon !

[@WhatThyFunk]

Trust me. It's normal and alway revolves at an angle back and forth as the axis to earth is tilted and makes it seem that way. Really, you are the only one moving to the side.

[@TheSupernatedog]

why does it turn red??

[@scoobydoo982]

The thing is that if the moon has an effect on the tides and tides is the water and there's water in our bodies, don't you think the super moon will have a small effect on us? Not enough to put someone in the hospital but a tiny bit?

[@PrinceBuffoon]

"(Orbit not to scale)" Yeah, no kidding XD

[@piperplayz4472]

Hello it’s happening In 2019! March 20

[@teenygozer]

When is the next "supermoon"?

[@BlackMessaGaming]

lol sould be play moon light sonata ...but,how to watch th efull supermoon from africa?

[@geepp2484]

TODAY IS SUPERMOON!!

[@LilPedro006]

it's scary and beautiful

[@Quay1962]

keep looking up there is so much going on people dont even know..

[@serendipiityy]

My super moon felt like it was inches away from me??????😱😱😱😱😱

[@idiotproductions7708]

hello 2021

[@whoOB1ru]

I believe it's an optical illusion that the moon is upside-down where you are

[@TheMangetsuhozuki]

My mom saw one and it scared the crap out of her

[@vengfullzealot]

Saw this in 2012 in october

[@joe_ieh]

i wanna this tonight but unluckily the weather forbidden me to see.. now im really pissed..

[@MaharlokanSovereign]

Super Moon? or Falling Moon??

[@AMBIENCE8209]

One thing is a concern is that gravitation from the moon can cause earthquakes, the moon was closer to the earth in 2011 than in 2010, have 2 check how much closer its got this year. look at last year with the japan earthquake/tsunami gravitational force from the moon Along with the other seizmec activity likely caused this.

[@DesiredCobalt]

I've actually seen a Super Moon it was actually 10 times bigger and one time I saw a red one which was weird

[@ollyb7728]

The next one is on the 23rd of June 2013, thumbs up so everyone can see!!

[@judithb62]

It looks like something from a sci-fi movie.

[@iamahuman6995]

The reason I'm watching this is because my science teacher told me too, but it's a really cool video. Also, a super moon is tonight!

[@nickcioffi2967]

June 22-23 2013 is going to have a supermoon OMG

[@dwightbamfield5731]

Cant wait till sunday 28th 2015

[@zombrogames4689]

Like me the super moon for me already ended

[@BIGDRXXMR444]

i was lookin outside tonite n syracuse.ny at 11 n the rest of the nite the moon didng see m bigger jus brighter

[@DovydasRybakas]

I'm take a photo with it and say on FB i'm in GTA!! xD

[@beauhess6547]

That is gone to happen on 2015 September 27

[@mr808steelers]

Not everyone could see it right? I mean, what if ur on the other side of the world?

[@fAMMILIIY]

I saw the super moon last night!

[@mrwang420]

The moons magnetic frequencies, aka gravity, change the frequencies on the earth surface while it's above that spot. Why wouldn't the moon affect a person in weird ways? It's totally plausible.

[@InfernoFlame-ne8wp]

I heard in December there is gonna be a supermoon

[@candr]

it was only about 3% bigger, not that Earth Shakeing LOL. But still interesting with a scope, course I like seeing full moons, especially with my lady.

[@AshAlmond1]

The best time to visit the moon, then. Will I get 14 perCent discount from Nasa?

[@JayRyderY2J]

Ifunny Brought me here

[@Gmm0985]

I’m here from the death future, 2020 & 2021

[@Fenniken99]

[@TheAttmaster9]
