(1) If you put a tennis ball on your head, and a beachball at the end of the garden, they are both much closer than the Supermoon.
(2) The Supermoon is not from Krypton, and does not wear a cape.
(3) The moon is not made of green cheese. We know this, because if it were, it would be green.
(4) The Supermoon tonight gives all werewolves on Earth +2 To Hit, and +1D4 damage with claws and bite.
(5) The first manned landing on the moon is closer in time to the present day than to the end of World War I. (But not by much.)
(6) The moon stayed in the same Space in 1999.
(7) Supermoons are not actually that unusual or amazing. But some astronomers have figured out that if they issue a press release about it, then they can get some space in the news cycle to get people thinking about astronomy.
