Super Moon

On 5 May, the moon will be full at the same time as it passes relatively close the earth, making it appear exceptionally bright as a result. Astronomers call this a perigee or Super Moon, in this case the largest and closest appearance until 2014, probably about a third brighter than average.

Extreme tides are likely around this time as a result of the proximity of the moon to earth.
