Astronomical Calendar: 2017 December

The largest and closest Full Moon of 2017 comes on December 3 at 10:47 a.m. EST / 15:47 UTC;
some people refer to this as a so-called "Super-Moon." Consequently, large tides along ocean coast-lines are predicted due to a Lunar Perigee the next day, at 4:00 a.m. EST / 9:00 UTC. This particular photograph shows the "Super-Moon" of 2016 November 14.
