The first supermoon of the year can be seen this Tuesday

Tonight the first three giant moons of 2022 will already appear in the sky, and this phenomenon can be seen from 23.22.

This Tuesday, the sky will be much brighter due to the giant moon. It’s the first of the year – a total of three. The following meetings will take place on July 13 and August 12. This phenomenon occurs when a natural satellite is in the full moon phase and at a distance from Earth less than 110% of perigee (the point at which the Moon is closest to the Earth).

At 23.22, the moon reaches its closest point to the Earth, giving rise to a giant moon.

Supermoons are slightly larger than a regular full moon and are much brighter. This giant moon will be 357,658 kilometers from Earth, according to space.commaking it appear 17% larger and 30% brighter than usual.

In the United States, this moon is known as the “giant strawberry moon” because of the time when strawberries are harvested. The name was given by the Native Americans. In tribal traditions, it is common to name the moon after the harvest period, the months and times of the year.

This phenomenon will also be broadcast online via live broadcast on the YouTube channel of Virtual Telescope Project.
