STORYLINE:
A supermoon, the first of four this year, was seen above the ancient temple of Poseidon on Cape Sounio, south of Athens on Monday.

During a supermoon, the full moon inches a little closer than usual to Earth.

A supermoon isn’t bigger, but it can appear that way in the night sky, although scientists say the difference can be barely perceptible.

September’s supermoon will coincide with a partial lunar eclipse.

October’s will be the year’s closest approach, and November’s will round out the year.

More a popular term than a scientific one, a supermoon occurs when a full lunar phase syncs up with an especially close swing around Earth.

This usually happens only three or four times a year and consecutively, given the moon’s constantly shifting, oval-shaped orbit.
