65438+February 19! Please bring your mobile phone to watch Super Little Moon this time.

CNMO News This will be the last full moon and the smallest full moon in 202 1 year. 12 19 (lunar calendar 1 1 month 16) is the shortest time between the full moon and the apogee of the moon in a year. As long as the weather is fine, we can see the "super little moon" in the night sky.

"Super Moon"

Contrary to the "super moon", the "super moon" occurs when the full moon is closest to the perigee in a year, and the moon on this day is the largest (visually) time of the year. From the astronomical point of view, it can be called "apogee full moon" and "perigee full moon".

It is estimated that the apparent diameter of the moon at perigee is about 14% larger than that at apogee, and its area is 30% larger than that at apogee. But if there is no reference, it is difficult to distinguish a university.

The following photos taken by an astrophotographer can compare the "big tilt" of the two more intuitively:

Some astronomical science experts said that if you have recorded the "Super Moon" with your mobile phone (which can photograph the moon) this year, you can photograph it again with the same equipment and the same focal length parameters when the moon is at the same abscissa position, so that you can compare the universities between the two.
