Lunar Perigee ( Extreme Supermoon )

Supermoon is about 14 % bigger and 30 % brighter than normal.

Because the moon's orbit is oval, there is a point where it is the closest to the Earth, known as its perigee.
The farthest point is known as its apogee, said Geoff Chester , an astronomer at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.

It was yesterday around 9:30 PM from my house.

I tried to take pictures with Nikon Camera.
