It's rather depressing to me that people get excited about things like a "super moon"...
Folks, it's a full moon. You can see that roughly once a month from pretty much anywhere in the world.
You just need to pay attention.

Well, not quite.. it's a full moon near perigee, so it's noticeably brighter and larger. That's why they call it that. And that doesn't happen every month.
I know exactly what it is, and no, it's not noticeably brighter or larger unless you're actively measuring it. Everything else is psychological.
And, a somewhat subtle point with what I am saying is that there are so many more things to be excited about.
Okay
