| 0:00.0 | On Monday you were going to see what is referred to as a supermoon and I want to talk about that and I want to talk about photographing the moon as well. |
| 0:07.0 | I don't know if this is something you guys are planning on doing or not, but I think it's going to be quite interesting. |
| 0:11.0 | So this is according to space.com |
| 0:13.6 | and they mentioned that on Monday, November 14th, |
| 0:15.8 | at 6.15 a.m. Eastern Standard time, |
| 0:18.4 | the moon will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2016. |
| 0:22.0 | This will be a distance of 221,520 miles away. This |

| 0:56.4 | And so this will be just before 5 PM on November 14th. |
| 0:59.5 | That's when the famous moon illusion will kick in in which makes our natural satellite appear |
| 1:04.0 | exceptionally large. However that illusion happens frequently when the full moon |
| 1:07.8 | skims the horizon. The super moon that shines down on us later on November 14th |
| 1:12.0 | really won't look that much different from other |
| 1:14.0 | full moons. So we'll talk about the whole what is a super moon and how does that fit in |
| 1:18.4 | in a second but in general when you're photographing the moon |
