No one used it until a few years ago. Instead, the Moon\u2019s closest approach to Earth\u2014full or otherwise\u2014was called a Perigean Moon. The problem is that even the very closest Moon does not look any larger than your average normal Full Moon. The size difference is too small for the naked eye to detect. But, okay, call it super.<\/p>\n<p>A Moon at perigee can appear up to 14% bigger. January 31\u2019s total lunar eclipse will occur 1.2 days after perigee so the Moon\u2019s diameter will appear about 7% bigger than average. Image Credit: NASA\/JPL-Caltech.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cSupermoon\u201d term has not been used merely for the closest Moon of the year, but also for the second closest, and third closest, and so on. This one coming up on January 31 is, for example, the third of a trilogy and the second closest of 2018. It\u2019s 358,816 km away, as compared with the January 1 Full Moon which was 356,565 km away. <\/p>\n<p>People post telephoto pictures on social media, depicting enormous-looking Moons in the sky. So astronomers like myself are concerned that the public will look up, see nothing unusual, and just shrug. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.almanac.com\/blog\/astronomy\/astronomy\/supermoon-blue-moon-and-lunar-eclipse-january-31\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.almanac.com\/blog\/astronomy\/astronomy\/what-supermoon\">See more about Supermoons<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n*<br \/>\n <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- LVBC BLOG RESPONSIVE -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3305383693358973\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8378569513\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>BLUE MOON<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cBlue Moon\u201d has become a popular term for the second Full Moon in a month; the name arose because of a Depression-era mistake in an astronomy magazine.
