reporters learned from Beijing Planetarium that the most anticipated celestial phenomenon in July is the " super moon " that occurred in the early morning of July 14th, Beijing time. A full moon near perigee is what we call a "supermoon", and it appears large and bright enough.

There are two "super moons" this year, one on June 14 and the other in the early morning of July 14. It is understood that the moment when the moon "looks" this time is 3 a.m. on July 14, and the moment when the moon passes perigee is 17 o'clock on July 13. The time difference is about 10 hours, and the apparent diameter of the moon is larger than that on June 14. A little bigger, so the supermoon in July is the largest full moon of the year. People can start enjoying this wonderful celestial event from the evening of July 13th.
On July 4th, Beijing time, the earth will pass through the aphelion. The orbits of the solar system planets and satellite are all elliptical. When the earth is at perihelion, it is about 147.1 million kilometers away from the sun. At aphelion, the distance between the sun and the earth is about 152.1 million kilometers. This gap has almost no impact on our lives. Professional photography equipment can be used to compare the slight change in the size of the sun.
A moon occultation of Mars will occur from late night on July 21st to early morning on July 22nd. The best observation location for this astronomical phenomenon is in the extreme northeast of Asia. In parts of Heilongjiang and Jilin in my country, you can observe the scene of Mars gradually walking out from the edge of the moon. People in other parts of my country can only see the moon and Mars appearing closely together. .
In addition, about 2 hours before sunrise in the early morning of July 27, Venus will rise together with the moon. People can see a wonderful scene of Venus and the moon in the low altitude in the northeast.
