Nasa explains: In a typical year there can be 3 or 4 full Supermoons in a row and (about half a year apart) 3 or 4 new Supermoons in a row.
In practice, what catches the public’s attention are the full Moons that appear biggest and brightest each year.
For 2020, the four full Moons from February to May meet this 90% threshold, with the full Moons in March and April nearly tied in size and brightness.
This full Moon will be slightly closer to the Earth (about 0.1%) than the March full Moon was, so this will be the “most super” of the full supermoons this year.
Tuesday afternoon, April 7, 2020, at 2:08 PM EDT, the Moon will be at perigee, its closest to the Earth for this orbit.
The Moon will be full on Tuesday night April 7 2020 appearing opposite the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 10:35 PM EDT.
The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Monday night through Thursday morning.
This is the first Full Moon of the Spring 2020.
