The biggest and brightest moon of this year is clearly visible in the sky today. According to the meteorologists at Weerplaza, the weather is perfect for seeing the so-called superyacht full moon. So take your chance and go out to check out this unique phenomenon.
A supermoon was also visible in September last year, but this one surpasses everything. The moon appears as much as 7 percent larger and 14 percent brighter than normal. A supermoon is created because the moon is not always close to the Earth. The moon does not follow a circular orbit around the Earth, but an egg-shaped one.
According to Weerplaza, the weather picture looks very positive these days. Cloudy areas and clear skies will alternate, providing plenty of opportunities to look at the real moon.
Look to the east
The moon rose at a quarter past six on Wednesday night. Especially when the moon is directly above the horizon, it looks very big. The evenings and nights are also very mild with minimum temperatures exceeding 10 degrees in many places. Look east to see the moon. This can also be done at night up to Friday and the night after.
The special Tsuchinsan-Atlas comet is also visible from our province this week. The big ice ball is on its way to the sun and passes the earth. Astronomers talk about a unique phenomenon. Due to the comet’s 80,000-year orbit, Tsuchinsan-Atlas would have been last visible during the time of the Neanderthals.
