      Explanation: There are four Full Supermoons in 2022. Using the   
      definition of a supermoon as a Full Moon near perigee, that is within   
      at least 90% of its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit, the   
      year's Full Supermoon dates are May 16, June 14, July 13, and August   
      12. Full Moons near perigee really are the brightest and largest in   
      planet Earth's sky. But size and brightness differences between Full   
      Moons are relatively small and an actual comparison with other Full   
      Moons is difficult to make by eye alone. Two exposures are blended in   
      this supermoon and sky view from June 14. That Full Moon was also known   
      to northern hemisphere skygazers as the Strawberry moon. The   
      consecutive short and long exposures allow familiar features on the   
      fully sunlit lunar nearside to be seen in the same image as a faint   
      lunar corona and an atmospheric cloudscape. They were captured in skies   
      over Chongqing, China.
