"超級月亮" 是滿月 (或新月) 與近點月同時發生的近點朔望月。這是描述月球在橢圓軌道上繞著地球公轉,行經近地點之時,同時又在日地聯線上的專有名詞。
此種結合的超級月亮被認為會引發海洋、地殼和潮汐的變化,例如地震、火山爆發和海嘯發生風險的增加。但是,這種關聯性一般是難以令人信服的。
超級月亮說法始見於1979年,為占星家理查德·诺勒所定義。經多年修正後,該天象指的是:新月或滿月時期,月球与地球間距離較平常為近,換言之,也就是地球與月球間距離低於或接近35.4萬公里 (220,000英里)。

A "supermoon" is the coincidence of a full moon (or a new moon) with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, or perigee, leading to the technical name for a supermoon of the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system.
The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. However, the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing.
The Moon's distance varies each month between approximately 357,000 kilometers (222,000 mi) and 406,000 km (252,000 mi) due to its elliptical orbit around the Earth (distances given are center-to-center).
The Moon will be at its closest point in orbit to the earth and the Sun, Earth and Moon will be aligned. The moon will appear about 16% larger and 30% brighter.
