The astronomy term is a perigee syzygy (of the Earth\u2013Moon\u2013Sun system) or a full (or new) Moon around perigee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Criteria of Supermoon<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no official definition for a supermoon, as the term was mainly a related interest to astrology. Few criteria as follow: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Richard Nolle (2011) defines Supermoon as any lunation closer than 368,630 km.<\/li><li>Fred Espenak (2012) defines the Moon&#8217;s mean apogee and perigee distances results in a mean limiting distance of 367,607 km for a super moon.<\/li><li>Fergus Wood (1976) used the definition of a full or new moon occurring within 24 hours of perigee and also used the label perigee-syzygy.<\/li><li>Sky and Telescope magazine chose a definition of 223,000 miles (358,884 km)<\/li><li>TimeandDate.com prefers a definition of 360,000 km (223,694 mi).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the full list of Supermoon \/ Perigee syzygy \/ Full Moon around perigee for year 2020 until 2030 below compiled and computed by Hazarry Hj Ali Ahmad, the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam, based on the above definitions. A logical check is also generated for the top 3 closest moon distance in that year. A personal opinion is to categories the Supermoon when at least 3 of the criterial searches were met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029.pdf\">Supermoon 2020-2030 in PDF<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"633\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029-633x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029-633x1024.jpg 633w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029-185x300.jpg 185w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029-768x1242.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029-950x1536.jpg 950w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029-1266x2048.jpg 1266w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Supermoon2020_2029-scaled.jpg 1583w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,3,17],"tags":[238,15,9,217],"class_list":["post-7206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-download","category-news","category-pabd","tag-full-moon","tag-lunar","tag-moon","tag-supermoon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
