Back in May 2012, skywatchers were treated to a stunning supermoon—a perigee full Moon that appeared 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons that year 🌕🔭. This dazzling celestial event captivated stargazers worldwide, lighting up the night sky like never before 🌍🌙.

Super moons occur when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth (perigee) while being full, creating a breathtakingly large and luminous display 🌟🌕.
