Three Supermoons in a Row


Three Supermoons in a Row

Today's full Moon is a perigee "supermoon," as much as 14% closer and 30% brighter than other full moons of the year. John Stetson photographed the swollen orb setting over Sebago Lake, Maine, this morning just minutes after sunrise:
 
 

"An inferior mirage appears in the foreground where the lake meets the shoreline," points out Stetson.

This was just the first of three supermooons in a row. Two more are coming on August 10th and September 9th.

Poster’s comment:  This set of events are just another form of entertainment for humans, at least to me.
