IndonesiaThe position of the Moon during the total lunar eclipse of January 31, 2018 will coincide in the moment it reaches the perigee point, or the closest distance to Earth. This will obviously make the Moon appear bigger and brighter in the night sky.
Astronomers call it the full Moon perigee, but it seems now more familiarly referred to as Supermoon. Yes, the total lunar eclipse of January 31, 2018 will coincide with the Supermoon event!
Supermoon January 31, 2018 will bring the Moon is at a distance of about 360,000 kilometers away from Earth. It will make the Moon appear with a corner diameter of 33'09 ", quite large when compared to the full-moon that occurs normally.
Supermoon itself can happen because the orbit of the Moon when around the Earth is not perfectly circular, but rather oval. That means, the Moon could have existed the closest and farthest distance to Earth. If the Moon's nearest duck with the Earth is called the perigee, then the farthest point is called apogee.
