No, the supermoon is not the closest the Moon has ever been to Earth. A supermoon occurs when the Moon is full and at its closest point in its elliptical orbit, known as perigee. While supermoons can appear larger and brighter than usual, the actual distance varies with each occurrence, and there have been times in the past when the Moon was closer to Earth than during recent supermoons.

There was nothing all that special about the "super moon"; the Moon gets that close to Earth EVERY month.

That combination of a full moon just at perigee only happens every 28 years or so.
