Perigee

I saved these images last week when the moon came closer to the earth than usual. Known as the 'supermoon' appears up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than when it is furthest from the planet. I thought it coincides nicely with this project how we're seeing this beautiful planet thanks to the light from the sun illuminating it. The reflected sunlight from the moon takes about 1.278 seconds to travel to the earth. The distance is about 384,000 kilometers at nearly 300,000 km/sec.
