What this episode covers
Super Snow Moon. Super Worm Moon. Super Pink Moon. Super Flower Moon. We're tripping over the Super Moons this year, there's so many lying around all over the place. Why so many? And what is a Super Moon anyway? Does it matter? What even is a month? Does that matter either? And — most importantly — is the moon bigger near the horizon? Emily's here with all the answers.
