Supermoon Versus Micromoon

Tonight's full moon is a micromoon, appearing smaller and dimmer because it's at apogee, its farthest point from Earth. It's also a blue moon, the second full moon in a calendar month. The Moon's elliptical orbit means its distance from us varies, making some full moons appear larger and brighter, while others, like this one, are more subtle.
