Moscow, August 11. On Monday night, August 11, the Moon was in very close this year’s position in relation to the world – 356.8 thousand km.
Phenomenon when the night light is held during the full moon perigee (or within 10-12 hours before or after it), astronomers call superluniem or superpolnoluniem. At such moments, especially the moon shines brightly and visually great.
In the night of August 11 the moon was at perigee at 21.43 MSK, and it’s a full moon in 22.09. Magnitude of the Moon – its brightness in the sky – this night more brightness “average” full moon about 30%.
In Moscow, 10 August Moon stood in 20.36, the sun disappeared behind the horizon in less than an hour later, the sky cloudless – perfect superlunie opportunity to observe in all its glory.
Reporter FAN observed this phenomenon of Vorontsov Park (South-West District), and, in his experience, the Moon is really shone brighter than usual, but significantly different in size and redness astronomers predicted satellite Earth did not notice no one – neither the correspondent or visitors to the park.
Nobody paid much attention to the night sky. Strolling bedtime grandfather surprised our photographer attempts to fix something inconspicuous to his eyes, and only after explaining what was happening, he looked carefully, and grunted: “I, too, superluna …»
Celestial Bodies very leisurely. If you do not pay attention, as the satellite of our planet has grown over the last few days, and you did not manage to get a good look today, it’s too late to do it the next night.
