Exploring Ancient Lunar Myths and Legends as Supermoon set to Dazzle Tonight

The moon has been an object of worship, veneration, and intrigue among ancient civilizations for thousands of years. Now, it is set to capture our admiration once again as the biggest and brightest full moon of the year will dazzle in tonight’s sky.
While technically not a ‘Supermoon’, which is defined as a full moon which occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit, tonight’s full moon is being called an ‘almost Supermoon’ as it falls within the top 10 percent of the closest full moons. It will reach its fullest phase at 2.10 p.m. EDT today, and will appear 7.2% larger and 16.9% brighter than regular full moons.
The moon has been shrouded in myths and legends for thousands of years, many of which still persist to this day, and Supermoons even more so. For example, there are many who believe that full moons can drive a person mad, cause natural disasters, and increase crime rates. These beliefs have their roots in ancient religions and superstitions. Indeed, the words “lunacy” and “lunatic” come from the Roman goddess of the moon, Luna, who was said to ride her silver chariot across the dark sky each night.
