We picture the moon as traveling in an orbit around the earth, so we usually talk about
the moon's closest and farthest distance from the earth.
Point in moon's orbit farthest from earth: "Apogee"
Point in moon's orbit closest to earth: "Perigee"
For the remainder of 2009 ...
The moon will be at Apogee on September 28, October 25, November 22, December 20,
The moon will be at Perigee on September 16, October 13, November 7, December 4.

Why was the moon so close to the earth on 19 march 2011 How does the moon get close to the earth?
It was not especially close; the perigee distance is 363,104 km. The Moon orbits the Earth in an elliptical path, and it comes that close to Earth every month. But the orbital cycle isn't on the same schedule as the phases of the Moon. The Moon happens to be exactly full at the very same time as the Moon reaches perigee only once every 28 years or so.

The moon's average distance from earth is listed as 238,855.7 miles (384,401 km).
