@neiltyson Of all planets' moons, ours is the largest compared to its host planet's size, so we should call it "Super Moon" all the time. -
@Alex_Parker If@plutokiller hadn't ruined it, I think that would make Charon the True Super Moon. cc/@neiltyson -

@kmccoy@plutokiller@neiltyson If we go there and start considering all binary minor planets, ones like 2001 QW322 (equal-mass) win. -
@Alex_Parker@kmccoy@plutokiller@neiltyson Yeah, but one could reasonably count planets and dwarf planets and exclude non-round worlds. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson exactly… “Super Moon” is only 15% bigger than normal… Super Mario got 100% bigger than normal, and sometimes spat fireballs… -
@apocolipse269@neiltyson - I accept a supermoon ONLY if I can have a "mini moon" that's 15% smaller than normal. -
@bouncingthe500 you can... At the apogee the moon will be further than normal and appear smaller, at perigee it's closet, how orbits work...
