Moon over Los Angeles. Picture: Theo Kingma

Well, that supermoon was a bit of a disappointment. The internet is bursting with pictures of huge glowing orange orbs looming low in the sky but from where I was it was certainly a bit bigger and brighter but that was all. Hardly mood lighting for a romantic evening. 
  And where were the werewolves, headless horsemen and beastly attacks that are supposed to go hand-in-hand with supermoons? 
 Maybe we’ll have to wait until May 20 for a new moon and a partial solar eclipse to bring some nocturnal excitement.
