    nursery and the closest region of massive star formation to Earth.
    > Supermoon - In February, the full moon will fall on the day when the
    moon is at its closest physical position to the Earth. The moon does not
    orbit around Earth in a perfect circle; it orbits in an ellipse or oval shape,
    which means that the moon’s distance from Earth changes as it orbits. The
    moon’s closest physical position to Earth is called perigee; the moon
    passes through its perigee point every month and is often thought to look
    bigger in the sky when it is at this point. A supermoon occurs when the
    moon is full and at its perigee.
