Explanation:
What is big, bright, and beautiful,
can wear a cape made of clouds,
and is at the closest point in its elliptical orbit around planet Earth?
A full moon at perigee of course,
captured here
near moonset in predawn skies on November 5 from Kayseri, Turkiye.
Full moons that happen at (or very near) perigee, and so
are slightly larger and brighter than full moons on average,
have become popularly
known as supermoons.
In fact, this
full moon at perigee is the
closest and brightest of the three supermoons of 2025.
Rising as the Sun sets, this full moon follows this October's
Harvest Moon and is traditionally known to some
as the Hunter's Moon.
