Sebastopol Supermoon

24 Jun 2013

The largest full moon of 2013, a so-called “supermoon,” lit up the night sky this weekend, and we got to see it in a clear night in Sebastopol. The moon arrived at “perigee” — the point in its orbit bringing it closest to Earth, a distance of 221,824 miles.

The moon typically reaches perigee once each month, but this lunar perigee was the moon’s closest to Earth of 2013. And, the moon officially turned full at 7am on Sunday. The close timing of the moon’s perigee and its full phase are what will bring about the biggest full moon of the year, a celestial event popularly defined by some as a “supermoon.” The moon appeared about 12.2 percent larger than it will look on Jan. 16, 2014, when it will be farthest from the Earth during its apogee. Oscar: “Full Moon’s are cool.”

Awesome, right?
I know I’m doing the posts in reverse order.. This year Father’s Day was on the 16th.
But The most important thing to note is that we did not smoosh Chief’s Father’s day in with Chief’s Birthday. Two separate events.
Yay us.

We surprised Chief at an old favorite, Picante.
