White Horse Moon. Last night the moon was at its closest point to the earth of the entire year; also known as its perigee (the point in the orbit of an object (as a satellite) orbiting the earth that is nearest to the center of the earth; also : the point nearest a planet or a satellite (as the moon) reached by an object orbiting it — ). This occurs on average every 412 days in the moon's elliptical orbit around the earth.
