The supermoon phenomenon occurs when the moon is within 10% of its closest distance to the Earth at the full moon. May’s full moon at the height of the Northern Hemisphere spring is also called a “flower moon” hence Thursday’s “full-flower supermoon.”

The year’s two previous supermoons occurred in March and April.
