00:00:02,569 --> 00:00:04,137
HOWDY LOONEY MOONEYS, TRACE HERE.

2
00:00:04,237 --> 00:00:08,441
THIS WEEK IS A SUPERMOON -- IT PEAKS ON THURSDAY 
THE SEVENTH.

3
00:00:08,541 --> 00:00:12,579
A SUPERMOON IS WHEN THE FULL MOON ALIGNS WITH 
THE PERIGEE OF ITS ORBIT.

4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:16,216
PERIGEE MEANS THE CLOSEST POINT OF THE MOONS 
ORBITAL PATH.

5
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:20,253
LIKE ALL CELESTIAL BODIES THE MOON HAS AN 
ELLIPTICAL ORBIT WHICH MEANS SOMETIMES IT S

6
00:00:20,353 --> 00:00:23,056
A BIT CLOSER AND FULL AT THE SAME TIME.

7
00:00:23,156 --> 00:00:25,025
IT S ONLY A LITTLE LARGER THAN USUAL.

8
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:28,862
BUT it is STILL A GREAT TIME TO SEE DETAILS 
ON OUR NEAREST CELESTIAL BODY.

9
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:33,600
HEAD OUTSIDE TRY TO FIND THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY 
WHERE THE APOLLO CRAFT STILL SITS FROM OUR

10
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:38,571
LANDING OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO, OR BRING A CAMERA 
WITH ZOOM OR BINOCULARS AND SPOT THE CRATER

11
00:00:38,671 --> 00:00:40,373
TYCHO.

12
00:00:40,473 --> 00:00:44,310
EVEN THOUGH SUPERMOONS AREN T SUPER RARE, 
THIS IS THE FOURTH SUPERMOON IN 2020, AND

13
00:00:44,411 --> 00:00:48,411
IT S THE LAST, SO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP LOOKIN 
UP!
