Lunar orbit

[apelly]

There's some super-moon-thing happening soon.

Maybe I'm simple, but the whole lunar orbit thing fucks with my head.

I set out the other day to solve this by finding a 5 minute youtube animation. Fail. There's a bunch of stuff on lunar eclipses. I was looking to visualise the moon, earth, sun thing. There are some of these, but the ones I found were just plain crap, or too long to quickly evaluate.

Have any of you guys got something good bookmarked that you wouldn't mind sharing?

Ars Technica has an article about the supermoon, with a couple of diagrams:

It's all clear now, thanks guys.

The Ars article was a nice easy read.
