When did the last super moon appear today?

According to astronomical experts, following February 9th, March 10 and April 8th, the fourth and last "super moon" will appear on the 7th of this month (April15th of the lunar calendar). If the weather is fine, the public all over China can enjoy the beauty of "a full moon shining in the blue sky" that night.

Full moon time: May 7 18:45.

When the moon and the sun are on both sides of the earth, and the longitude difference between the moon and the sun is 180 degrees, the moon at this time is the roundest from the earth, which is called "full moon", also called "full moon". The 14, 15, 16 and even 17 of each month in the lunar calendar are all possible periods for the full moon to appear. "Super moon" means that the moon is at perigee at the full moon. Because it is close to the earth, the moon looks bigger than usual at this time. The "super moon" happens every year, sometimes more than once.

Shi Zhicheng, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, said that the "super moon" that happened on the 7th was the fourth and last time this year. The full moon occurs at 18: 45 on that day. "Although the time of' looking' is more than May 6 1: 03, it is worse than 1 many days, but the moon still looks relatively large, and it can still be regarded as a super full moon.

"There is a full moon in the sky, and there are thousands of lights on the ground. The full moon often entrusts people with good wishes and thoughts. Therefore, every time the "super moon" appears, it brings the public a rare opportunity to enjoy the moon.

"Watching the moon doesn't have to be confined to the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. Fourteen, sixteen and seventeen are also suitable for watching the moon. The best time to enjoy the moon is when the moon has just risen. At this time, the moon beads are round and moist, dreamlike, pleasing to the eye, and it is easy for people to have infinite reverie. " Shi Zhicheng said.
