A supermoon typically happens only a few times each year—generally three to four times, and they occur consecutively rather than scattered across the year. In practice, you’ll often see a string of two or three in a row, sometimes followed by another a month or two later, depending on the Moon’s perigee (closest approach to Earth) alignment with full moons. Key points:
- Definition: A supermoon is a full moon that occurs near the Moon’s perigee in its elliptical orbit around Earth.
- Frequency: About three to four times per year, though the exact count can vary from year to year.
- Pattern: The supermoons tend to appear in sequence, with neighboring full moons sometimes also classified as supermoons if the perigee timing is close enough.
If you want, I can check the latest published schedules for 2025 or upcoming years to list the specific dates of each supermoon and the viewing tips for those events.
