supermoon

This phenomenon is called "lunar perigee", or "SuperMoon".

这一现象被称为”月球近地点”或”超级月亮”。

Thee name supermoon is fairly new. It was the idea of astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979.

超级月亮的这个名字很新颖。这是占星家理查德在1979年的想法。 ﹠。

So you missed the 2011 extreme supermoon due to cloudy skies in your area; not to worry.

如果因为多云的天气而使你错过了2011年得超级月亮现象的话，别担心。

There’s a good reason for that: supermoon or not, the moon just looks bigger when it’s rising or setting.

这也为判定是否为超级月亮现象提供了一个很好的依据：在月亮升落之际，是否看起来较往常更大。

Spectacular photographs of the biggest supermoon for generations are already being captured - and the best is yet to come.

几代人以来，人们已经拍摄了很多“超级月亮”的照片，但是最令人惊叹的美景还未出现。
