24-25 June 2013
The night of 24 June 2013 saw the rise of the super moon. This full moon was not only the closest and largest full moon of the year. It was also the moon’s closest encounter with Earth for all of 2013. The moon will not be so close again until August 2014. In other words, it was not just a supermoon. It was the closest supermoon of 2013.
