On the same day that #Idalia hit NW Florida at 9:36pm in Gainesville I captured the #SuperBlueMoon peeking through the clouds. As I see often, there can still be beauty even after the destruction from storms. Tonight it was the biggest moon of the year. pic.twitter.com/QhOFoUV2L1

Last 'Super Blue Moon' until 2037 rises tonight.

Supermoons occur when the Moon passes through its perigee, or the point that takes it closest to Earth during its elliptical orbit. This makes it look bigger and brighterhttps://t.co/RrtmssSwfK pic.twitter.com/A3YICcVgMA
