【Once in a few decades? Don't be fooled! 】

Under normal circumstances, a super moon will occur once every 14 synodic months (about 413.4 days). The next super moon will occur on August 31 next year. At that time, the moon will pass the "perigee", which is only 357,181 kilometers away, and can be seen from all over the country. Next year's supermoon will have a larger apparent diameter than this year's supermoon.

Although super moons are rare, they do not occur once in decades. The difference in size can be felt with the naked eye, and the frequency can basically reach twice every three years ~

[Get a neck fan? 】

Recently, the subtropical high pressure has strengthened again! High temperatures are severe in most places in the south. In many places, the lowest temperature at night is between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius. Under such temperatures, combined with a relative humidity of 60% to 85% at night, the body temperature in many places will reach around 38 degrees Celsius, making it unbearably hot. .

Even if you are admiring the moon outdoors, it is recommended that friends in the Yangtze River Basin carry small fans, mung bean soup and other heatstroke prevention items with you. In addition, you should also be prepared to prevent mosquitoes.

[Rain misses the super moon? 】

Local friends don’t have to wait for the super moon.

However, overall, the difference between the best viewing period and the average level throughout the night is not large, and it is almost impossible to observe with the naked eye. Dear obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, please don’t chase the best viewing time, the next day is still a working day!

[How to stand out in the circle of friends? 】

Also faced with a beautiful super moon, how to excel in the photography of WeChat Moments?
