March 19, we will see "Supermoon"

March 19 will rise at sunset biggest and most beautiful moon since the early nineties.

The whole secret is, dear boys and girls, our satellite's orbit is an ellipse, so at the nearest (perigee) it is about 50 thousand. Km closer to Earth than the farthest (apogee). In the first case, the full moon seems 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the second.

Here are just a coincidence of perigee and full moon occur infrequently. Tomorrow, the satellite will be only an hour away from the coveted position.

Whatever wrote in your "ynternetah" perigee moon does not become the cause of natural disasters. For example, in March 1983 there were no major incidents. In December 2008 a full moon, almost located at perigee, too, it was harmless.

The only thing with certainty can be expected - is the increase of the tidal forces of 10-15%. But this does not mean that the tides will be higher by the same amount - only a couple of centimeters, but especially local geography may enhance the effect of up to 15 cm.

Watch the full moon at perigee best when it is close to the horizon. In this case, illusion and reality are mixed, creating a truly fascinating spectacle. For some not fully understood reasons, the low moon looks unnaturally huge when peeps through the trees, buildings and other objects.

That's just a position we recommend that you take. Successful meditation!

That's interesting, in Moscow at the lope and where to watch tomorrow, what would it be seen in the largest extent ??
