The Amazing Supermoon: A Sky Event to See in 2023.
Reading
On Monday, there will be a supermoon, which is the first of four this year. A supermoon happens when the full moon is a little closer to Earth than usual.
Even though a supermoon isn't actually bigger, it might look that way in the sky. But scientists say it's really hard to tell the difference.
In September, there will be a supermoon and a partial lunar eclipse at the same time. The supermoon in October will be the closest one to Earth this year, and then we'll have one more in November.
People usually call it a supermoon, but it's not really a scientific term. It happens when the moon is full and also very close to Earth in its orbit, which usually happens three or four times a year in a row.
The moon's orbit around Earth is shaped like an oval, so its distance from us changes all the time. That's why we have supermoons sometimes.
