supermoon
As I look up at a huge supermoon I am reminded of the total solar eclipse from earlier this year. While this moon is very cool to look at, it's also very different. It's hard to fully realize that it's a literal rock floating up there in space. It almost looks like a 2d picture. But with the total eclipse, having the context of both the sun and the moon overlapping made something so recognizably real. It showed the immense size of these things, the wild distance, and it just felt REAL. Like, those things are ACTUALLY up there.
