"The term 'supermoon' is considerably more later and has come to be any full or new moon inside 90% of its nearest way to deal with Earth," composed Christine Shupla, training and public commitment director at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, in an email. "By that definition, the full Moon on June 24 is likewise a supermoon, despite the fact that it's anything but however close as the full Moon seemed to be in May or April.".

Some adhere to a stricter meaning of supermoon, similar to Noah Petro, a lunar researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
