The first few appearances of the super moon

2011March 18 In the evening, a bright moon just rose over Huntington Beach in Los Angeles. In the camera lens, a passenger plane just passed the moon. The national aeronautics and space administration announced that in March 19, the moon will reach the closest position to the earth in 19, only more than 350,000 kilometers away from the earth. Seen from the earth, the area of the moon will increase by 14% and the brightness will increase by 30% compared with the apogee, so it is called "super moon".

20 1 1 In the early morning of March 20th, 2008, the roundest and largest moon of 20 1 1 appeared in the night sky, and this full moon can be seen in sunny areas in China. The largest and roundest moon (also called "super moon") in 20 12 years appeared in the night sky on May 6th (April 16th of the lunar calendar). When the weather is fine, the public in China can feast their eyes and enjoy a bigger and more beautiful moon than usual.

Joe Rao, a meteorologist and columnist of US Space News Network, said that in the United States, the full moon appeared at 2065438+23: 35 on May 5, 2002 (Beijing time on the 6th 1 1: 35). This full moon coincides with the perigee of the moon. Because the orbit of the moon is not a perfect circle, the perigee changes within 3%. This day is the shortest day from the perigee of the moon to the earth this year, which is 356,955 kilometers, so the moon is the largest and brightest, and it is called the "super moon".

Experts suggest that the viewing effect is best when the "super moon" has just risen or is about to fall below the horizon. If the moon appears behind a tree or building, it looks bigger visually.

On May 6th, 2065438 1 1: 35, a "super moon" appeared in the sky. The moon phase reaches the full moon and is in the most round state. At noon 12, the moon just arrived at perigee. At this time, the distance from the earth to the moon is the latest moment of the year, so the apparent diameter of the moon is the largest. This time, the brightness of the moon is 30 times higher than normal.

Because we can't see it at noon, many people arrange to watch the "Super Moon" at night. Compared with the "super moon" in previous years, this moon is bigger and rounder. "This is because it coincides with the 16 th lunar month and is a perigee, so this year's' Super Moon' is particularly powerful." Zhang Xi, director of the Science Department of Purple Mountain Observatory, said.

July 20 12, the moon will run to perigee as scheduled, but it will only be roughly coincident, with a little distance from the earth, with an estimated value of 222,700 miles, or about 358,400 kilometers. The full moon scene observed from the earth will only change by about 0.5 percentage point, and the brightness will only drop by one percentage point. June 23rd, 20 13 (May16th in the summer calendar), the perigee of the moon 1 1 min, 35699 1km away from the earth, and then 19: 32 minutes later, the full moon (.

On May 16 in the summer calendar, the roundest and largest super moon in 20 13 years was ushered in. 19:00 12 in a year, the distance between the moon and the earth is the shortest, and the moon looks the largest. 19: 32, the moon, the earth and the sun are arranged in an approximate straight line, and the moon is the most round. Some netizens said that when the beauty of heaven and earth reached its acme, it was actually touching.

On the night of July 22, 20 13, the moon was round and big, which was worth watching. This is because, at 4: 23 am on July 22nd, distance to the moon was the closest to the Earth, only 358,406,5438+0 km. 16 At 2 a.m. on July 23rd, the moon, the earth and the sun lined up in an approximate straight line, and the moon was the most round. As one of the most anticipated astronomical phenomena in 20 14, this year's largest and roundest super moon will appear at 2 am on August 1 1. According to the calculation, at about 1: 42 in the morning, the moon is closest to the earth, which is the time of full moon, and the moon is the most round. As long as the weather is good, everyone can feast their eyes and enjoy the bigger and more beautiful moon than usual. The super moon can be seen all over China, even in Asia, Oceania, Antarctica, Europe and Africa, and this range is unlimited. The super moon of 14 appears at about 1/morning of August/Sunday1point, which is about 20% larger than the normal moon, and its brightness is also increased, so people who watch the moon irregularly will not see it.

The best observation time of the super moon is around 2 am on 1 1, but from the perspective of shooting the moon, the best shooting time may appear after sunrise on1night and before sunset tomorrow morning. At this time, the full moon will be golden. Looking straight, the moon has the largest area, which is very suitable for taking close-ups of the moon. On August 29, 20 15, the super moon appeared in many places around the world, which is the ninth time that the astronomical phenomenon appeared in the world in 20 15.

On September 28th, 20 15, the "Super Moon" will meet the "Mid-Autumn Festival Full Moon".
