The sky this Sunday promises to leave everyone enthralled. The phenomenon of Superlua happens for the second time this year (we had one in July and another place in September), but this will be the largest moon seen in 2014 This will happen because our natural satellite will be the “only” 356,896 km from Earth, ie a distance less than the normal, which makes our perception of moon is 14% larger and 30% brighter.

The apogee (when it is further away from our planet) occurs a few days later, on August 24. The moon will be 406,522 kilometers away.

Time Zone Countries ahead of the Brazil already observed the phenomenon that will have its apex at 14h44 (GMT). . See some photos
