Description

Super Flower Moon: The Closest Supermoon of 2021

Two supermoons occur in 2021—the first was April’s Pink Moon and the second May’s Flower Moon.

When the full Moon appears this month, it will be ever-so-slightly closer to Earth than it was in April, meaning that May’s Flower Moon will be the biggest and brightest full Moon of the year—technically speaking. To the naked eye, May’s full Moon won’t actually look any bigger or brighter than April’s, since the Moon’s distance from Earth differs by less than 100 miles between April and May. This is a miniscule distance in the grand scale of space.
