Super moon and meteor shower appear at the same time

The last supernova of 2020 will occur this week with brightness that could eclipse the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, according to NASA.

According to the US space agency NASA, the last supermoon of 2020 will occur on May 7. The moon will light up starting around 17h45 on 7/5.

The supermoon in May is the third supermoon as well as the last supermoon of 2020. This full moon is called the "Flower Moon".

NASA, NASA, explained: "Native tribes in northeastern America call the second full moon in spring to be the Flower Moon because it coincides with the time of the year when flowers bloom in most areas. It is also known as the Moon Growing Corn or Milk Moon . "

The phenomenon of the Super Moon occurs due to the change in the Moon's orbit around the earth. When the Moon is close to the earth, about 360,000 km from the earth. When there is a supermoon, the Moon will be bigger and brighter than normal.

The full moon phenomenon occurs once a month, but the supermoon only sees it a few times a year.

Around the same time, astronomers also had the opportunity to see two small meteor showers of Eta-Aquarids and Eta-Lyrids . This is a relatively large meteor shower that takes place in the spring of each year, when the acne fragments from Comet Halley's fall into the Earth's atmosphere and burn, creating 40 to 60 streaks of light in the night sky every hour. However, the US Space Agency said that Moon light would almost hinder the observation of the meteor shower.

Previously, people in many parts of the world had the opportunity to see the largest supermoon in 2020 called the Pink Moon on April 8.

The April super moon is called the Pink Moon because it is named after a pink flower called the phlox flower that grows in popularity in North America and blooms in spring.
