Full Moon: Super Moon on August 29

The full moon of August 29, 2015 will be the first of this year’s three full supermoons. It’s a full moon near perigee, or near its closest point to Earth for the month. Modern skylore dictates that these sorts of moons are called supermoons. The August 2015 full moon is also the first of three full-moon supermoons in 2015.
