CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Monday's supermoon is the first of four this year.
During a supermoon, the full moon inches a little closer than usual to Earth. A supermoon isn't bigger, but it can appear that way in the night sky, although scientists say the difference can be barely perceptible.
September's supermoon will coincide with a partial lunar eclipse. October's will be the year's closest approach, and November's will round out the year.
More a popular term than a scientific one, a supermoon occurs when a full lunar phase syncs up with an especially close swing around Earth. This usually happens only three or four times a year and consecutively, given the moon's constantly shifting, oval-shaped orbit.
今回は，syncs up (with) という句動詞を取り上げます。まず，syncsはsynchronizeの口語短縮形で，日本の学習辞書にはまだ未記載です。
syncs up (with) はFarlex の The Free Dictionary には "To coordinate something with something else so that they operate at the same rate and in correspondence with each other"とあり，例文として The film editor synced up the sound and video. I synced the file on my home computer up with the more recent file on my laptop. The sound on my TV doesn't sync up with the video.
が挙げられています。
今年はあと3回スーパームーンが見られるようなので，今回見逃した方も次回は見てみてはいかがでしょうか。（Maru）
