When it is furthest away - the apogee - it is smaller and dimmer.A lunar perigee occurs once a month. However, next week's perigee coincides with a full moon - a combination of events that happen just once every two or three years. <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/20/article-1367956-0B40CBFE00000578-98_634x397.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The full moon is seen as it rises near the Lincoln Memorial, in Washington DC<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/20/article-1367956-0B40C5DC00000578-344_636x462.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Moonhattan: The oversized moon adds to the lights of New York City as it rises over the city skyline<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/20/article-1367956-0B40C31A00000578-251_634x462.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Something for everyone: Tourists, star-gazers and simple star-crossed lovers gathered to watch the moon rise over New York's East River<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/19/article-1367956-0B40372700000578-628_636x780.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The moon is seen behind the top of the radio and television tower 'Funkturm' in Berlin<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/19/article-0-0B4005C700000578-58_638x767.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The moon as seen from the end of Worthing Pier in Sussex, looking east towards Beachy Head<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/19/article-1367956-0B4011BE00000578-725_636x456.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A rugby match in Headingley, Leeds is bathed in an orange glowAlthough supermoons usually lower tides by just an inch or so, some seas can lose more than six inches in depth – a particular problem in the sandbank-strewn Solent.Tides are produced by the gravitational attraction of the moon.Like a magnet, it tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer.Tides are also affected by the moon’s comparative alignment with the sun.Especially strong – or spring – tided also occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line.Previous supermoons took place in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005 - all years that had extreme weather events, the conspiracy theorists say<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/19/article-1367956-0B3F4D0500000578-80_634x501.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />View of a full perigee moon over Manila, Philippines<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/19/article-1367956-0B4036F600000578-11_636x414.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The moon rises over east London<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/11/article-1365225-0D92E2C0000005DC-786_634x392.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The moon's orbit around Earth is not a circle, but an ellipse. At its closest approach - the perigee - the moon appears brighter and larger in the sky. When it is furthest away - the apogee - it is smaller and dimmerThere are numerous myths that claim full-moons cause an outbreak of strange behaviour among people and animals. Indeed the term lunacy is derived from the name of Luna, the Roman moon goddess.Legends depicted werewolves shape-shifting during a full moon and more recently a full orb was said to trigger labour in pregnant women.However, several studies have failed to tie lunar phases to violence, suicides, seizures or admissions to psychiatric hospitals.Meanwhile a 1999 study by astronomer Daniel Caton from Appalachian State University , which analysed 50million births, found no correlation between an increased birth rate and the full moon phase.<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1368361/Supermoon-blamed-ships-run-aground-British-coast.html" target="_blank">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1368361/Supermoon-blamed-ships-run-aground-British-coast.html</a></blockquote>
