This phenomenon can be seen only for 36 seconds once a year when the moon appears in all its splendor and then does a disappearing act.  It is amazingly close that it appears it is going to collide with Earth, then for 5 seconds, a total solar eclipse occurs where everything goes dark.  This phenomenon occurs only at perigee ( the point where the moon is closest to the Earth.
