11月14日夜、満月がいつもより地球に近づいて大きく見える「スーパームーン」現象が観測された。今回は、見かけ上は68年ぶりの大きさとなり「超スーパームーン」とも呼ばれている。午後8時21分に月が地球に最接近した。

ただ、東北地方や沖縄周辺を除き、日本列島では天候に恵まれなかった場所も多かった。そのため、「せっかくのスーパームーンが見られない」と嘆く声も…。
■松井玲奈「スーパームーンが見えないから…」
元SKE48でタレントの松井玲奈は、「スーパームーンが見えないからみんなにプレゼント」と題し、こんな画像を自身の公式Twitterに投稿した。
この画像は、6月20日に「ストロベリームーン」が観測された時、インターネット上で話題になった画像だ。
ちなみに、正解（本物の月）はこちら。
さらに難しくすると…。
■全国各地では「スーパーハムーン」も観測
さらにはこの日Twitter上では、「#スーパーハムーン」なるハッシュタグも大盛りあがり。ただ、ハムはハムでも、食べる方の「ハム」ではなく…。
お月さまが見えなくとも、思わず顔がほころんでしまいそうだ。

LAS VEGAS, NV - APRIL 04: The moon is shown during a brief total eclipse, the shortest one this century, as it skims the Earth\'s shadow on April 4, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is the third in a lunar tetrad - four consecutive total lunar eclipses with no partial lunar eclipses in between them. The orange glow of the moon is a result of sunlight scattered off Earth\'s atmosphere giving it the nickname \'blood moon.\' The next full lunar eclipse will occur on Sept. 28, 2015.

LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 4: The moon is seen behind downtown high-rise buildings during the shortest total lunar eclipse of the century before dawn on April 4, 2014 in Los Angeles, California. The eclipse, with the moment of totality lasting only about five minutes, is particularly brief because the moon is passing through the upper part of the Earth\'s circular shadow rather than across the middle, which would have made it last longer.
