On the evening of June 15, a “supermoon” appeared in the night sky, but it was only the “second largest full moon” this year. This year’s largest supermoon will be staged in the early morning of July 14, which can be seen all over China. At the same time, it will also be the lowest full moon in the northern hemisphere since 2008. The so-called supermoon in the video refers to the full moon at perigee. Observations show that the same full moon is 14% larger in apparent diameter and 30% larger in apparent area at “perigee” than at “apogee”. At 17:06 on July 13, the moon moved to the “perigee” closest to the earth for the whole year, which was only 357,372 kilometers. At this time, the apparent diameter of the moon was the largest. At 2:38 on the 14th (look), the moon, the earth and the sun line up approximately in a straight line. At this time, the moon is the most round, and the apparent diameter of the moon reaches 33.7 arc minutes, which is larger than the apparent diameter of the sun in the whole year. Supermoons are actually not particularly rare, generally occurring every 14 lunar months (about 413.4 days). The next supermoon will appear.
