On Sunday, the moon will be much closer to Earth, the ‘only’ 356,896 km Additionally, she will reach the point where it is fully aligned toward the sun -.. fullness of full phase This proximity will allow the phenomenon of ‘superlua’ is observed, or as astronomers call “perigee moon.” This satellite will be 30% brighter and visible in a way that will appear 14% larger.’s phenomenon should only be repeated in 20 years. But what is perigee? The perigee is the point of the lunar orbit, which is elliptical, closest to the Earth format. At the farthest point, the satellite is more than 400,000 kilometers, and looks smaller in the sky. Though superlua the event happens once every 14 months, the coincidence of perigee with full phase is more rare. shall be only 27 minutes between the time the satellite reaches its closest point in its orbit and the moment that aligns perfectly with . the Sun
This Sunday (10), the perigee will be at 17h43 and 18h10 at the full moon – an invitation to observe the sky at sunset already. 20 years from now, when these exact conditions must be repeated, the observation can be made later, after 22h.
Tomorrow, so the trick is to observe the moon when it is looming on the horizon in the evening. Insofar as it is rising, grandiosity printing will gradually losing.
