In today's image, we see the Strawberry Moon which also happens to be a supermen this year. The supermoon occurs when the full moon occurs near the time of perigee or closest approach of our Moon to Earth. It will appear a little larger and brighter in the sky - however, this is not easily noticeable to the naked eye.
