COSMIC MESSAGE

There are four Full Supermoons in 2022. A supermoon is a Full Moon near perigee, within at least 90% of its closest approach to Earth. The dates are May 16, June 14, July 13, and August 12. Full Moons near perigee are the brightest and largest in Earth's sky, though the difference is small.
