I was expecting a little more from this Super Full Moon, but it honestly didn't seem too much larger than normal. The coloration of the sky was very cool: a glowing blue-green sky closest to the moon and getting darker and deeper blue going outward. According to timeanddate.com, a Supermoon is "a Full or New Moon that occurs when the center of the Moon is less than 360,000 kilometers (ca. 223,694 miles) from the center of Earth." and a Super New Moon is 12-14% larger than normal, which explains why my expectation of "super" was not completely met.
Yesterday (12/18) was actually the Micro New Moon. It was cloudy, but I could see a little bit of a pink color in the sky.
