Seven people who’ve had enough of the supermoon

It has been a big year of change and unpredictability, 2016. First there was Brexit, then there was was Donald Trump’s election, and now there’s the supermoon!

There have been few events in recent history that have been as disappointing as the supermoon. There was just so much hype and expectation surrounding the moon and its apparent incredible closeness to the earth, that it was bound to end up in disappointment. It seems like the supermoon is not so super after all.

There’s already been one supermoon in 2016 and now there’s another one expected on December 13. But not everyone is falling for the hype this time.

Officially known as a ‘perigee’ moon, the phenomenon occurs when the moon comes particularly close to the earth. Last time around, in November, NASA said the appearance would be “the closest full moon to date in the 21st century”.

But just because it was close, didn’t mean the view was particularly impressive. This time around, though, people aren’t holding their breath. They much more skeptical and much less likely to race home to grab the camera to get the perfect shot. Here are just seven people who have had absolute enough of the supermoon.
