[ Super Moon appears tonight and is the "second largest full moon" this year] Entering June, Galaxy begins the most beautiful observation season. Among them, on June 14th, Beijing time (the 16th day of the fifth lunar month), a "super moon" will appear in the sky. This is also the "second largest full moon" this year. The second full moon of the year will appear tonight. By then, as long as the weather is fine, people will have the opportunity to look up and see the beautiful scenery of "a full moon setting on a jade plate". According to experts from the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a supermoon is actually a phenomenon in which the full moon is located near perigee. Because the moon orbits the earth in an elliptical shape, the distance between the moon and the earth is constantly changing. Therefore, the closer the moon is to the earth when a full moon occurs, the larger the full moon will be seen. The moon at this time is called a "super moon" or "super full moon". Supermoons are actually not uncommon. On average, 4-6 super moons occur every year. For the full moon that appeared on June 14, the roundest moment occurred at 19:52, and the moon passed perigee at 7:23 on June 15. The difference between the roundest time and the perigee time was only less than 12 hours. Therefore, the apparent diameter of this full moon is very large. If the weather is unfavorable and it happens to be cloudy and rainy tonight and you can't see the big, round super moon, don't be discouraged. According to experts, this year’s largest full moon will occur on July 14 (the sixteenth day of the sixth lunar month). (Science and Technology Daily reporter Zhang Ye; Picture source: Xinhuanet)
