Each week, Ben Hopkinson looks back at what’s happened the past 7 days and what was trending on Twitter with the Maritime Hashtag Minute.
This week’s #MaritimeHashtagMinute was is #SuperMoon, a rare phenomenon where the moon appears larger and brighter because of its proximity to the Earth. This happened on Tuesday night. View the Tweets below:

The #SturgeonMoon rises over Stage Harbor Lighthouse in #Chatham Tuesday night. If you missed tonight's #supermoon, there'll be another one Aug. 30. @capecodtimes pic.twitter.com/bJ73m4jezc

Last night's 99% Moon. Tonight it is Full. Named a #SuperMoon for its relative proximity. The legend calls it a #SturgeonMoon (even in Scotland?). Will rise at 21.22 into more thick cloud! @StormHour @ThePhotoHour #MoonHour pic.twitter.com/DwVx0X7nt2

The #SturgeonMoon rises on #1stAug, 14:31 EST, 19:31 BST. So-called by Native Americans as it was under this #fullmoon that sturgeon fish were easily caught in the lakes. A #supermoon, it orbits closer to the earth than usual, thus appearing bigger & brighter. #FairytaleTuesday pic.twitter.com/tJIoNo4hFV

So frustrating when there is a "Supermoon" due to rise, you check the weather forecast and it's blanket cloud 🙁 some oldies from local landmarks #moonrise #SuperMoon #moon #stormhour #thephotohour pic.twitter.com/wR4qm6nMKE
