Supermoon : Have you heard?

  The largest , brightest moon for seven decades is making a sweep past earth. It is commonly called the "Supermoon ".
According to NASA, a supermoon is when we see the full moon at its closest to the Earth.  Also supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a New moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth. The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system . The term "supermoon" is not astronomical, but originated in modern astrology.
    The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but this is not true.
The opposite phenomenon, an apogee-syzygy, has been called a micro moon,[6] though this term is not as widespread as super moon.
Occasionally, a supermoon coincides with a total lunar eclipse. The most recent occurrence of this was in September 2015, while the next time will be in October 2033.

The most recent supermoon occurred on November 14, 2016, the closest to Earth since January 26, 1948, and while the next one like this will be until November 25, 2034.[8] The closest supermoon of the century will occur on December 6, 2052.

In recent years, it has become popular to photograph the supermoon.
   The November 14, 2016 supermoon was 356,511 kilometres (221,526 mi) away
from the center of Earth, the closest occurrence since January 26, 1948. It will not be closer until November 25, 2034.
It was found to be :
14% bigger
30% brighter than usual.
