All hail the Supermoon.
That gorgeous heavenly body we call the moon came as close to Earth on Saturday night as it will get all year. It was downright flirtatious. At approximately 222,000 miles from our planet, the moon was 15,300 miles closer to us than usual and appeared about 14% larger than we’re accustomed to.
I caught a brief glimpse of the Supermoon from my backyard in Austin just minutes before a torrential downpour hit central Texas with monsoon-like force. Was the rainstorm a gift from the moon to the parched Texas soil? The trees and flowers seemed grateful, glutted and giddy. Or so I imagined, as my own lunar tides shifted in accordance with the will of the powerful goddess in the sky.
