Last night and tonight, the night sky was lit up by a super moon (an extremely large full moon), the likes of which we haven't seen since 1948 and won't until 2034. If you missed it, we've prepared for you a selection of the most beautiful super moon photos taken in different parts of the world.
She lit up tonight super moon, the largest since 1948. A super moon is a phenomenon when full moon finds closer to Earth than usual, so it looks approx. 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter. This happens because the Moon's orbit is around our planet elliptical, so its distance changes. On the ground floor it is the closest, and the farthest away.
By the way, in the netherworld, which is the exact opposite of a super moon, we call this one micro moon (then it is far from Earth 406,554 kilometers). The next such phenomenon will be seen in Slovenia June 9, 2017. It almost would have happened yesterday the coincidence of the Moon in the ground and the full moon, which is an extremely rare occurrence. The last time it happened January 16, 1948.
