A dazzling super moon illuminates horizons around the world

The observers of the sky around the world were treated to a super moon this week, appearing more brilliant and larger in the evening sky.

A super moon occurs when the moon reaches its perigee in orbit, which means that it is at its point closest to the earth.

It is a special super moon known as several names.

It is called the hunter’s moon because it is the first full moon in October. The name recalls the historical preparations of winter in the northern hemisphere, where people chased and retained meat.

It is also called Harvest Moon, designated by the full moon which rises closest to the fall equinox (September 22). Its nickname recalls the time when farmers took advantage of the brilliance of the moon to harvest their harvests in the evening.

The Super Moon also shone on Monday evening, illuminating the Chinese night sky during the Mi-Automn Festival.

Have you missed the super moon?

Or do these coarse clouds block the view?

Do not fear, two other superlons are expected in November and December.
