On June 14, a “super moon” appeared in the night sky, and the silver moon hung high in the night sky in many places across the country.

On the evening of June 14, this year’s “second full moon” appeared in the night sky. Netizens from all over the country have actually photographed the romantic scene of the “Super Moon” hanging on the horizon: in Chongqing, a photography blogger captured the moon climbing through the clouds; in Shanghai, some netizens photographed the super moon and lightning “in the same frame”… The moonlight is beautiful, All wishes come true!

A “supermoon” refers to a perigee full moon. The orbit of the moon revolving around the earth is elliptical. During the operation, it is far and near the earth, about 350,000 kilometers at the closest, and about 400,000 kilometers at the farthest. The difference between the two is about 50,000 kilometers. Changes in Earth’s distance also lead to changes in the Moon’s “apparent diameter”. According to astronomical observations, the same full moon has a 14% larger apparent diameter and 30% larger apparent area at perigee than at apogee.

A “supermoon” is a type of full moon. When the moon and the sun are on both sides of the earth, and the ecliptic longitude of the moon and the sun is 180 degrees different, the moon seen on the earth is the most round, which is called “full moon”, also known as “look”. The 14th, 15th, 16th and even 17th of each lunar month are the times when the full moon may appear. There are usually 12 or 13 full moons in a calendar year, and if the full moon happens to be near perigee, it is called a “supermoon” or “supermoon.”
