Closest Perigee

This is how the moon was on 12Dec08 in Mumbai - the day that the moon was the closest to earth!
Ref National Geographic:
Although a full moon happens every month, the one that rises on 12Dec08 will appear about 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than the other full moons seen so far this year. That's because our cosmic neighbor will be much closer than usual. The moon will be at its closest perigee—the nearest it gets to Earth during its egg-shaped orbit around our planet.
