At a time like this in the current pandemic, there has been little to admire. But next week we are in for a treat as there will be a beautiful sight to be seen. And even better, you’ll be able to see it from your own home.
Keep reading to find out more about the supermoon that’s set to shine…
Then you’ll have to look up.
And it’s in the sky.
As it’ll be the largest and brightest moon of the year.
The size and brightness is down to the moon’s uneven orbit which is elliptical or oval in shape.
And during this time, the moon will be viewable at different points.
“This more relaxed definition can give us more than one supermoon per year.”
According to Royal Museums Greenwich, supermoons appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than a full moon at its furthest point, the apogee.
Due to this the differences may not be immediately obvious to most observers.
And don’t worry, you don’t have to sit watching out for it all evening as you’ll be able to see it most of the evening.
So will you be watching?
