Description
The Moon "is a 'super Moon,' as much as 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than other full Moons of 2012." The last perigee Moon was on March 19, 2011, when it was about 250 miles closer. A perigee full Moon can bring tides that are higher than normal but only by an inch or so. The effect can be amplified by local geography, but only by about six inches.
