Supermoon over the ocean next Saturday, gonna take some photos!

On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away. On top of that, it will be full.

Richard Nolle, a noted astrologer who runs the website astropro.com, has famously termed the upcoming full moon at lunar perigee (the closest approach during its orbit) an “extreme supermoon.”

Belmar NJ moon rise looks to be around 7:30pm that night, will check later in the week to make sure, hope for clear weather and book your moon table at Matisse on the beach in Belmar NJ great dinner and serious moonlight
