Was it a "super moon" or just the same old moon?

Okay, we are just emerging from totality at 10:23 pm local Hebron, MD time.
No blood red moon, nothing but the same old silver colored disk that when it is full is termed “moon bright.”
What all the fuss over these myths of super moons is about when any physicist in the field of Astronomy could tell you, it just isn’t true.
But I guess some ship board sailors and navigators out there still put faith in St. Elmo and his strange “fire.”
Oh well, I always thought science would dispel myth, not perpetuate them.
But Barnum was right, one is born every minute.
