date of creation :20/march/2011 "it was a super full moon day

On that day it happened that the full moon is on the same day as perigee which is the moon’s closest point to Earth .so i decided to include it in the stop-motion while it is rising on the horizon, The Moon’s orbit is elliptical and not circular so perigee and apogee happens every month but this perigee happened to be one of the closest encounters and the Moon won’t come this close again until 14th November 2016. this “Super Moon” isn’t really bigger although it appeared slightly larger in the sky (14% bigger) particularly when rising and setting on the horizon.
