In the night from Saturday to Sunday, there was The exceptional full moon, the moon especially large. This is just appearances. The moon appears to be great, because it is located very close, so-called. perigee, which is the smallest distance from Earth.
358,000 km. Therefore, it seems that the Supermoon is almost a third larger than when it is at the greatest distance from our planet. It is also about ten percent lighter.
Contrary to some superstition, Supermoon does not cause natural disasters, or does not increase crime.
The phenomenon called Supermoon can be observed relatively often, because once for 13 months and 18 days, but because of the weather, is not always possible to fully enjoy the beauty of the enormous moon.
The name “Supermoon” was introduced in 1979. by astrologer Richard Nolle to determine the moment when the Sun, Moon and Earth are relative to each other in a straight line, and the moon also is at its perigee.
Supermoon is a phenomenon adored by the lovers of photography, because it gives the landscape a fairy-tale atmosphere.
