This year's largest full moon is coming! On July 11, the reporter learned from the Shenzhen Observatory that at 02:38 on July 14 this year, the moon will reach the state of the full moon, about 357,399 kilometers from the earth.

The Shenzhen Observatory said that because the full moon occurred in the early morning, citizens can enjoy the closest to the earth and the largest moon this year from July 13th.

Interested citizen friends can choose to observe the southeast direction on the evening of July 13 (Shenzhen's rising time on the day of the day), and observations of naked eyes or telescope. At that time, citizen friends can see a round of full moon rising from the horizon. If the weather is fine, platforms such as the "Shenzhen Astronomy" video number and "Shenzhen Evening News" video number will be broadcast live for everyone.

How much do you know about Super Moon? According to reports, the moon is revolved around the earth. When the new moon (Shuo) or full moon (hopes) is run near the near location of the ellipse orbit, due to the shortened distance, the moon will increase "look" in other positions in other locations. Big, at the same time, the moon is located in a crescent or full moon, and the time with the moon is not more than 24 hours. Such a crescent or full moon is called the super moon.

There are about 2 to 4 super moon at the full moon every year. This year, there are only two super moon, which are the super moon that has appeared on June 14, and the super moon that will occur on July 14. Compared with the smallest full moon (January) of the year (January) on July 14th, the two are actually a lot older. The contrast between the two is still obvious, but when the citizens actually look at it with the naked eye, it may still be difficult to tell which big Which small.

On the evening of July 14, when the super moon rose in the east, everyone could feel that the full moon was particularly large, and the color was golden yellow. At this time, you can use your mobile phone or digital camera to combine with the super moon.
