When will there be a super moon in 2023?

The super moon in 2023 appeared in two specific time periods, namely August 1 and August 3 1.

1, August 1

On August 1 day, the moon rises at 19: 05 and sets at 6: 07 the next day. During this time, the moon presents the largest apparent diameter, which is the best viewing time. When observing, people can not only appreciate the beauty of the big moon, but also feel the mystery and vastness of the universe.

2. August 3 1

On August 3rd1day, at 9: 36, the moon will reach the nearest position to the earth, and at this time, the moon will be the largest in the whole year, also known as the "blue moon". This "super moon" is not only the second full moon in August 2023, but also a rare astronomical phenomenon. In order to appreciate the big moon better, people can use astronomical telescopes, telephoto SLR cameras or zoom mobile phones to observe it.

The reason for the formation of the super moon:

1, perigee: The main reason for the formation of the super moon is that the distance between the moon and the earth is the closest when the moon moves to perigee in its orbit. At this time, due to the shortening of distance, the moon looks bigger and brighter than usual.

2. Full Moon: The super moon usually occurs during the full moon, that is, the moon is located between the earth and the sun, and the three are almost in a straight line. At this time, the moon will present a complete smooth surface with maximum brightness.

3. Astronomical phenomenon: The super moon is a natural astronomical phenomenon, which is the result of the interaction between the orbital motion of the moon and the rotation motion of the earth. The orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical, and so is the orbit of the earth around the sun. So the moon may run to the nearest point to the earth at a certain point, which is called perigee.

4. Visual effect: As the distance between the earth and the moon changes, the size of the moon seen by people on the earth will also change. When the moon moves to perigee, it looks bigger than usual because of the shortening of the distance, which is what people call "super moon".
