THIS WEEK IS A SUPERMOON -- IT PEAKS ON THURSDAY
THE SEVENTH.

00:08.541 --> 00:12.579 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
A SUPERMOON IS WHEN THE FULL MOON ALIGNS WITH
THE PERIGEE OF ITS ORBIT.

00:12.679 --> 00:16.216 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
PERIGEE MEANS THE CLOSEST POINT OF THE MOONS
ORBITAL PATH.

00:16.316 --> 00:20.253 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
LIKE ALL CELESTIAL BODIES THE MOON HAS AN
ELLIPTICAL ORBIT WHICH MEANS SOMETIMES IT S

00:20.353 --> 00:23.056 align:left position:80% line:89% size:10%
A BIT CLOSER AND FULL AT THE SAME TIME.

00:23.156 --> 00:25.025 align:left position:82.5% line:89% size:7.5%
IT S ONLY A LITTLE LARGER THAN USUAL.

00:25.125 --> 00:28.862 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
BUT it is STILL A GREAT TIME TO SEE DETAILS
ON OUR NEAREST CELESTIAL BODY.

WITH ZOOM OR BINOCULARS AND SPOT THE CRATER

00:38.671 --> 00:40.373 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
TYCHO.

00:40.473 --> 00:44.310 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
EVEN THOUGH SUPERMOONS AREN T SUPER RARE,
THIS IS THE FOURTH SUPERMOON IN 2020, AND

00:44.411 --> 00:48.411 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
