On May 5th, our guests on the Sunset Tour were treated to a spectacular site! A Super Moon over the Grand Canyon! This event lit up the night sky as the full moon passed at its closest to the earth, making it 14% larger and 30% brighter than other full moons. It is called a “perigee” moon by scientists, and the annual phenomenon occurs only once a year.
