This is the second of three super moons this summer glistening in the sky over South Bayview Sunday night (August 10, 2014). According to NASA, the super moon occurs when the moon is slightly closer to Earth in its orbit than on average, and this effect is most noticeable when it occurs at the same time as a full moon. “The moon may seem bigger although the difference in its distance from Earth is only a few per cent at such times,” NASA says. This picture was taken by Sue Byford, co-publisher of the South Bayview Bulldog from the driveway of her Sherwood Park area home. We’ll call it Moon over Mount Hope Cemetery.
