The Moon's legendary hat trick

On the morning of September 28 (Vietnamese time), astronomers will at the same time admire 3 interesting natural phenomena: Full Moon, Super Moon and Harvest Moon.

Welcome to Full Moon, Super Moon and Harvest Moon on September 28, 2015

The total eclipse occurs when the Moon enters the dark area obscured by the Sun's light from the Sun.

Every year at least 2 times we admire the phenomenon of eclipse.This year's full moon will begin at 0911 and end at 1024. Nguyet real reached the pole at 09h47 (VN time).

When the full lunar eclipse occurred, the Sun's rays before reaching the Moon were refracted by the Earth's atmosphere. The short-wavelength light rays were all blocked, leaving only the long-wavelength rays (red, orange) penetrating, so the Moon would normally appear under light red. This is why people also refer to the total lunar eclipse as 'Blood Moon'.

During this time, we will also witness the Harvest Moon phenomenon .

Harvest Moon is the time when the Moon grows close to the time when the Sun sets . Therefore, the Moon will be rounder and the Moon's lighting time will usually last longer than other days of the year.

Calling this phenomenon "Moon harvest season" is because the longer the Moon is lit, it will help farmers have more time to harvest the crop without having to leave early due to the setting sun.

Harvest Moon is usually calculated at the time of two weeks before or after Thu Dec 23 September. Last year, Harvest Moon took place on September 8 and this year is September 28.

Moonlight this year is also a super moon . Due to the Moon's elliptical orbit, the distance between the Moon and the Earth is not always equal.

This year, on September 28, the Moon will be the closest to Earth. At this point, the Moon will be closer to Earth than 30,000 miles from the farthest point, so the Moon will look 14% larger and 30% brighter than normal.
