The 19th of March 2011 marks the closest lunar approach for almost 20 years at ‘just’ 221 567 miles.
This is my attempt at photographing the supermoon (as they’re calling it) and despite the usual tabloid sensationalism, it looks much the same as usual.
Perigee moon, March 2011
This is not quite full moon but is about 99% illuminated. Full moon is an hour before perigee at 18:10 GMT this evening.
