Supermoon full moon on June 23rd, 2013

Full moon. Image: morgueFile.

June 23rd, 2013, brings a supermoon - this year's most spectacular full moon. A supermoon, technically perigee-syzygy, occurs when the full moon and the moon's perigee come within twelve hours. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it comes closest to our planet.

The actual moment of full moon takes place today, but the exact moment varies with your location. However, the best time to view the supermoon is when it's only partially visible, at the horizon, because an optical illusion makes the moon seem even bigger.

Make time to see the full moon tonight. There's something magical about that orb in the sky, watching over us, lighting our way along with the stars.

Following is a list of full moon names for June. Some are bound to catch your attention. I'm keeping my distance from the Lakota moon, okay?
