Description
On April 8th 2020 this supermoon graced our skies. Here in Ireland there is a lovely old pine tree near to us that lends itself to any type of silhouette photography. This was a great opportunity to cradle the moon in the dead branches of part of this tree.
Two exposures were taken and blended together, one with the moon correctly exposed and focused, the other with the closer tree adequately captured.
A supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee—the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit—resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth. The technical name is a perigee syzygy (of the Earth–Moon–Sun system) or a full (or new) Moon around perigee. The term supermoon is astrological in origin and has no precise astronomical definition.
The real association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but no such link has been found.
The opposite phenomenon, an apogee syzygy or a full (or new) Moon around apogee, has been called a micromoon. (part from Wikipedia)
