What makes a good supermoon photo? Critically, there have to be other objects in the shot, so that your brain has some frame of reference for how damn big the Moon looks. NASA has a few more tips for would-be supermoon photographers, so if you didn’t get your money shot already, be sure to read up before trying your luck this evening. (Although the Moon passed its closest point of approach—or perigee—this morning, it will still look pretty darn super tonight.)
