Nice location for Vietnamese people to watch the super moon this century

Astronomers all over the world are about to have the opportunity to admire the largest super moon in 100 years with a brightness of 30% of the normal full moon today.

According to astronomers, super moon will be the brightest and brightest at 13h52 on November 14 at GMT, ie about 20h52 on the same day in Vietnam , Science Alert reports.

At this time, the Moon and Earth's trajectories will get closer together since January 1948. The moon became super moon with the largest brightness and size in the past 70 years. Due to being closer to Earth, the Moon when viewed from Earth will be 14% larger and 30% brighter than a normal full moon.

The phenomenon of super moon occurs because of the Moon's elliptical orbit . This trajectory consists of a near-point (perigee) , where the Moon is closer to the Earth by 48,280 km compared to the time in the perspective (apogee).

The moment the near moon is aligned with the Sun and Earth called sygyzy , the Moon looks bigger than usual, hence the name moon.

Although super moon will also appear in December 2016, super moon on November 14 due to the Moon closer to Earth. According to Science Alert, observers find it difficult to see the difference between super moon and normal full moon if looking straight at the sky where there are no tall buildings or famous buildings as a benchmark.

If you look at the Moon while near the horizon, or track the moon rising behind the building or the mountain range, astronomers will meet the "Moon illusion" that makes this object look unusually large, the Aviation Agency Vu US cylinder (NASA) said.

Dark place far from artificial light

The observer should choose the dark spot, avoiding artificial light as much as possible. Your eyes should avoid exposure to white light for about 20 minutes to fully adapt and admire the panoramic view of the super moon phenomenon.

See the moon on the long beach

When observing super moon, astronomers can observe with the naked eye without eye protection. To see the Moon rising from the horizon, observers should choose the position on the coast.

Watch super moon on the mountain

Like in the sea, watching the Moon gradually appear behind the massive mountain range also gives astronomers the opportunity to observe the full moon.

Select the location near the iconic building

When watching the super moon from a famous building, statue or bridge, you can easily see the huge size of the Moon completely overwhelming these buildings.
