I'm really growing tired of all this Supermoon talk.  It's a term made 
up by astrologers.  At least somebody is talking sense:

One well-known astronomer takes a very dim view of the term supermoon. 
Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of New York's Hayden Planetarium, thinks 
the term is highly overblown. "There is something called a supermoon," 
Tyson has noted, adding, "I don't know who first called it a supermoon. 
I don't know, but if you have a 16-inch pizza, would you call that a 
super pizza compared with a 15-inch pizza?"
