SOLOPOS.COM – Schedule of lunar phenomena 2024. (Business)
Solopos.com, JAKARTA – In 2024 there will be several natural phenomena, especially those related to the Moon, such as a supermoon.
The source of the Moon’s light as seen from Earth is the reflection of sunlight, the shape of the Moon as seen from Earth will change. These changes in the shape of the Moon as seen from Earth are called the phases of the Moon.
Of the various phases of the Moon, there are four main phases, namely the new moon phase, the early half-full moon phase (first quarter), the full moon phase, and the late half-full moon phase (last quarter).
The period of revolution of the Moon in its orbital plane is calculated from the position of the new moon phase to the initial half-full moon phase to the full moon phase to the final half-full moon phase and back to the new moon phase which is called the synodic period, which on average takes 29.53059 days (29 day 12 hours 44 minutes 03 seconds).
The period of revolution of the Moon in its orbital plane is calculated from the position of the new moon phase to the initial half-full moon phase to the full moon phase to the final half-full moon phase and back to the new moon phase which is called the synodic period, which on average takes 29.53059 days (29 day 12 hours 44 minutes 03 seconds).
The shape of the Moon’s orbit when the Moon revolves around the Earth is an ellipse. As a result, at one time the Moon will be in the closest position to the Earth, which is called perigee, and at another time it will be in the farthest position from the Earth, which is called apogee.
The period of revolution of the Moon in its orbital plane is calculated from the position of perigee to apogee and back to perigee which is called the anomalistic period, which on average takes 27.55455 days (27 days 13 hours 18 minutes 33 seconds).
Position of the Moon closest to Earth in 2024.
On March 10 2024 at 14.05 WIB the Moon will be at its closest position to Earth in 2024 at a distance of 356,894 km and 1 hour 55 minutes later the Moon will be in the new moon phase. Something similar applies when the Moon is at apogee.
On February 25 2024 at 22.00 WIB the Moon was at apogee 406,311 km away and 26 hours 30 minutes earlier the Moon was in the full phase. As explained above, the effect of changing the distance of the Moon from Earth is that the appearance of the Moon in certain phases at apogee and at perigee will be different. For example, when the Moon is in the full phase on October 17 2024, which is close to when the Moon is at perigee, the semi-diameter of the Moon as seen from Earth is 16′ 42.79”. Meanwhile, on February 24 2024, when the Moon is at apogee, the semi-diameter of the Moon will be 14′ 42.84”.
Considering that during the new moon phase the size of the Moon will not be observed, except during a solar eclipse, the comparison of the size of the Moon during the full moon phase at apogee with the Moon during the full phase at perigee is the difference that can be observed well.
The perigee full moon or better known as the supermoon in 2024 will occur on 21 August 2024, 18 September 2024, 17 October 2024, and 14 November 2024 with a semi-diameter of the Moon of more than 16′ 30”. Meanwhile, the apogee full moon or better known as the minimoon will occur on February 25 2024 and March 23 2024, with a semi-diameter of the Moon of less than 14′ 45”. The following are the phases of the full moon throughout 2024
