Supermoon 2019: How to watch February’s LARGEST Moon of the YEAR

But not every perigean Moon is a Supermoon, because the lunar orb has to be at its Full Moon phase during perigee.

And according to maritime astronomer Bruce McClure of EarthSky.org, the upcoming Moon at Perigee will be the largest of the year.

The astronomer said: “Although the Moon appears full for a few to several days in succession, the Moon is only truly full for a fleeting instant – when the Moon lies 180-degrees opposite the Sun, from the vantage point of Earth.

“This Full Moon moment arrives on February 19, 2019, at 3.53pm Universal Time.”
