more Precisely, the Moon will be in the so-called syzygijnym perigee, and therefore, in a situation when the Earth, Moon and Sun are in a straight line. The gravity of the moon and of the Sun is then on the Ground in the same direction; at the same time having we have the biggest tides. In addition, the Moon will be full. This dream time to visit our satellite.
What is “Superksiężyc”?
Perigee is the point in earth’s orbit that is closest to the Earth. This term refers to the moon, and artificial satellites. Point farthest, in turn, is the so-called climax. The moon rise is at 16.34. The Central points of the Earth and moon will then be at a distance of 365 509 km, while the surface of both bodies is only 348 401 km, It is close. Recently, our companion was still on a few dozen km closer to 26 Jan 1948. Will be in the same range, until 25 November 2034. This phenomenon is called colloquially “Superksiężycem”. Therefore, a unique opportunity for you to see our satellite in full glory. Just plain binoculars to see quite a lot.
the Distance of the moon from the Earth at perigee and apogee are not always the same, depending on several factors, including the fact that the major axis of the elliptical orbit of the moon facing the Sun or not. On average the Moon is from us at 384 400 km, and at perigee (also average speaking) five percent closer, and the climax at five percent. on.
According to the reports the magazine “Sky and Telescope”, November 14, the Moon will be approx. 15%. more than usual. Given the fact that the Earth is currently closer to the Sun than usual, will be brighter by about 16 percent.
When is the best time to observe the perigee?
However, correct the full moon will come three hours after sunrise, however, is to look at the moon shortly after it rises, as in this case, the effect of its increase and pojaśnienia will be the largest. This is because always when the Moon is low on the horizon, the phenomenon of the so-called moon illusion. He seems to us more from what is already high in the sky.
the Illusion occurs because of the low Moon could not help compare the mijanymi the objects on the Earth’s surface, that is, the roofs of the houses, the trees etc. We do so, monitoring relative and this leads to the fact that it seems to us that the object (not the Moon, because the same applies to the Sun) than in reality. The same phenomenon, and even more intense, will take place in the current perigee.
What will we see? Large and very light shield, and the dark sea, much brighter, hills and mountains and many impact craters.
