It can be said that rare celestial phenomena are "gathering together" as we enter May.

just entered 2022, under the "spoilers" of the foreign media "Abeisai" and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, many astronomical wonders worthy of attention throughout this year were announced early. There are many meteor showers from major constellations that occur every year, but what is more eye-catching are those rare astronomical phenomena that are visible to the naked eye. For example, in the past May we just experienced the rare "super blood moon".

As we enter the month of May, June and July, it can be said that rare celestial phenomena are "gathering together". No, the most attractive "2022 first super moon " entering June has also begun a countdown and will be staged around the world in a few hours. Generally speaking, modern society regards them as a kind of spectacle to watch, but what is special is that there are some bad legends circulating in ancient my country and even Western countries. HH? What impact will this celestial phenomenon have?

How is the "Super Moon" formed? What is unique about the first "super moon" in 2022

According to astronomical science experts revealed in advance, this round of "super moon" that will occur at 19:52 on June 14 will be the first in 2022 and the "second" this year. "Two Full Moons" is very interesting. Before that, let’s learn together with the Rubik’s Cube how the “super moon” is formed from a scientific perspective.

The term "super moon" was proposed by American astrologer Richard Noelle in 1979. It does not only refer to the "full moon", but also refers to the super-large appearance of the moon when it is just near the perigee. Generally speaking, in addition to the "super full moon", the "perigee" time may also be the "super star moon". The reason why it is formed is because when the moon orbits the earth along an elliptical orbit, the distance between them goes from far to close, and the full moon that people see this time is close to the largest.

Therefore, to a certain extent, it may be more accurate to use "perigee full moon" for "super moon". According to statistics, the "super moon" is unique compared to the full moon that appears almost every month. The first thing that bears the brunt is that it is indeed rarer, appearing about 4-6 times throughout the year. Secondly, it will be larger and brighter than the full moon we usually see from the "far" point. Of course, this requires good weather conditions.

As for the first "super moon" in 2022, it actually has its own unique features. Because this "super moon" is near perigee, although it is the "second largest full moon" this year, it is almost the same as the "largest full moon" in July to the naked eye. In addition, this time: According to experts, the "super moon" can be seen all over the country, even in Oceania, Asia, Europe, Africa, Antarctica and other places. Ordinary people can also enjoy with naked eyes through without the need for any professional equipment.

At the same time, experts also revealed that the moon, the earth and the sun are aligned in approximately a straight line, and the roundest moon will occur at 19:52 tonight. At 7:23 a.m. on June 15, the moon will be closest to the earth and its "apparent diameter" will be the largest, reaching 33.42 arc minutes. It is reported that the "perigee" point and the "apogee" are more than 50,000 kilometers apart, and the observed apparent diameter and apparent area of ​​the moon naturally vary greatly. The first "super moon" in 2022 is coming, so naturally it is not to be missed.

A rare "super moon" is coming! Why would anyone not want to see it?

In many cases, when we hear about "super blood moon", "lunar eclipse", and "solar eclipse", the ancients did not understand the principles, which caused panic and fear. It even derives from the folk custom of setting off firecrackers or other types of folk customs to drive away "Tengu ". So why do we feel scared when we see the "super moon"?

As far as our country is concerned, the views on the "super moon" in ancient times are mainly divided into two categories.Most people are just afraid of "abnormal" moons, such as the blood-red moon that people see during "super blood moons", the darkness during "lunar eclipses" and "solar eclipses", and the "bitten" moon that gets more and more bitten. Come smaller and smaller...and so on. They may worry that it will never happen again, or they may be afraid that something bad is about to happen.

But for the "super moon", they will not be like this, and they will even place their trust in beautiful artistic conceptions such as: flowers are full and the moon is full, Mid-Autumn Festival full moon is a sign of homesickness and other beautiful artistic conceptions. There are also many literati who compare the "super moon" to the moon disk, Chang'e Palace, laurel, etc. Of course, it is not ruled out that a small number of people are afraid of seeing the rare "super moon", and there are rumors that it may "bring natural disasters ".

However, it is different abroad. The "super moon" contains richer meanings. However, in addition to "big" and "round", they also focus on another point, which is that it often occurs at night. So there is " werewolf ", which "symbolizes evil power", and some people even choose the night of the full moon to do extreme things. It is reported that because this belief was so deeply ingrained, in the West until the 18th century, doctors would tie up patients during the full moon to prevent mental disorders or aggressive behavior.

Therefore, from a comprehensive perspective, whether it is the psychological aspect because the moon is particularly large close to the ground, or it occurs at night, or the "werewolf" legend contained in the West, someone specifically picks the "super moon" time to do bad things and then blames them. "Full moon", in fact, these have nothing to do with the "super moon" itself.

summary: Does the appearance of the "super moon" really have no impact? Indeed there is!

The above not only explains why the "super moon" appears, but also explains that it is a natural movement phenomenon of celestial bodies and does not indicate anything bad. So logically speaking, there would be no impact. Why would the Rubik's Cube say that it does have an impact? It is worth noting that the influence mentioned by the Rubik's Cube here refers to the phenomenon that when the moon is at the "apogee" and "perigee" under the condition of gravity, the gravitational force on objects on the earth may affect the tides.

It is reported that when it is at apogee, the force is 3.019×10^-5N, and when it is at perigee, the average gravity is 3.761×10^-5N. Many experts, including former director of the Shanghai Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and famous astronomer Zhao Junliang, have also said that the distance between the earth and the moon does affect the earth's tides. Therefore, it is also influential, but not as strong as some people imagine. Generally speaking, this effect is almost negligible.

But as for disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions spread among the people, they are pure nonsense. Since then, many scientists have said that there is no evidence that there is a direct connection between them. According to the principle of their formation, the main reason lies in the earth itself, and there are very few external forces. For example, some extremely large earthquakes, large tsunamis, and large volcanic eruptions are actually all related, and they belong to the phenomenon of plate activity in which "one trigger affects the whole body." Therefore, it cannot be imposed that a "super moon" occurs.

Summary

The first "super moon" in 2022 is here, and experts say it can still be seen with the naked eye. This makes a lot of non-professional astronomy players like Rubik's Cube happy. It just so happens that the weather in Chengdu is also very good. I look forward to taking pictures of the beautiful "big moon" then.

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried. For example, some coastal provinces that have recently encountered " dragon boat water " may have to pass it by. Don’t worry, Rubik’s Cube will show you close-up high-definition photos when the time comes ^_^.
