Very soon, residents of Belarus will have the chance to witness an amazing astronomical phenomenon.
We are talking about a supermoon, as a correspondent for the online publication Belnovosti reports, the largest and brightest this year.
According to Gismeteo.by, the best conditions for observation will occur on October 6.
This full moon is called the Harvest Moon.
The phenomenon occurs when the full Moon coincides with perigee – its closest point in its orbit to Earth.
This time, the distance between the planet and its satellite will decrease to approximately 361,457 kilometers.
The lunar disk will appear 14% larger and its brightness will increase by approximately 30% compared to a “standard” full moon.
Ideal places for observations will be away from city lights, in the dark.
Such conditions will allow you not only to enjoy the spectacle with the naked eye, but also to take impressive photographs.
