Do you know what is
Supermoon? Ya, I think you all know about this one. Supermoon is a new or full
moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach
to Earth in a given orbit. Earth, moon and sun are all in a line, with moon in
its nearest approach to Earth. In 22-23 June 2013 is the closest moon with
Earth for all of 2013. If you saw this supermoon last week, you would be amazed
for what you see. The moon was so beautiful and looked so close.
The scientist said that you
will not see the closest moon again until August 2014. There are 4-6 supermoons
a year on average.That doesn’t sound very special, does it? In fact, the June
2013 full moon lines up much more closely with perigee – the moon’s
closest point to Earth – than Nolle’s original definition. According to Guy
Ottewell’s Astronomical Calendar 2013, the 2013 June full moon falls
only 22 minutes after the moon reaches perigee.
