Moon reaches its closest position to the earth at 2.10 am on March 20, 2011 which is approximately 356.577 kilometers away (www.kompas.com, March 19, 2011). This phenomenon is known as "perigee' or "supermoon". In fact, the size of the moon looks the same from places located along the equator like Indonesia. However, the intensity of light is stronger because the moon lightens up the sky more than usual and consequently prevails over the stars.This phenomenon is taken in different white balances with 300 mm Nikkor VR, 1/1600. ISO 200 and no tripod. Minimum correction of sharpness and contrast are applied.
