  4. Supermoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermoon

    Astrophysicist Fred Espenak uses Nolle's definition but preferring the label of full Moon at perigee, and using the apogee and perigee nearest in time rather than the greatest and least of the year. [13] Wood used the definition of a full or new moon occurring within 24 hours of perigee and also used the label perigee-syzygy. [7]
