NYC New Year Moon

A view of the January moon rising over the skyscrapers of NYC looking towards about the 71st street area. The first full moon of 2018, the Wolf Moon, occurred on the night of Janary 1. The Wolf supermoon occurred shortly after after the moon reached perigee, its closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit, making it a so-called supermoon. At its closest point on Jan. 1, the moon was approximately 221,559 miles (356,565 kilometers) from Earth. On average, the moon is about 238,000 miles (382,900 km) from Earth. This image was captured on the night of Jan 2, when the moon was beautiful and huge but very slightly less so than on the Jan 1.
