How to appreciate this year’s first “super moon”?
Xiu Lipeng introduced
Because the full moon occurs in the early morning
interested members of the public
can observe it in the evening of the 19th
At this time, the moon has just risen from the east
Since there is a ground reference object
the naked eye will feel that the moon is larger
and full. The color is slightly redder
When the moon rises to a certain height, it is difficult to distinguish the difference with the naked eye.
The color of the moon will gradually
turn white or white-yellow.
Appreciating the full moon
does not require professional astronomical equipment.
It is just like admiring the full moon. Just like a meteor shower
It can be seen with the naked eye
This year's first "super moon"
Don't miss it!
