The full moon tonight will be more spectacular than we are used to observe and not only shine but it will also be larger.
tonight if you raise your eyes to the sky and watch the moon, surely you will be surprised and see it much bigger and brighter than usual.
Why?
Why?
most certainly know that the Moon passes through different phases in the course of the year with their appearance changes as you turn around Earth, being one of the most beautiful full moon or the dubbed full moon.
Well, just today the Moon will enter phase full moon -time when the phase angle of the satellite will be between 0 ° and the illumination of 100% - and that's why we will see brilliant.
Specifically if you live in the northern hemisphere of Earth lunar perceive size will be 14% higher than usual and if you're in the southern hemisphere than 1%, what will happen that will lunar perigee place.
Peri "what? Is called perigee point of the elliptical orbit that follows X body around the Earth to the Moon in this case, where that is closer to the center of our blue planet. Ie Saturday to reach the moon perigee to be at its closest point to Earth (356,575 km) and consequently we perceive larger.
In conclusion, today, March 19, the satellite enters full moon phase at almost the same time that is at perigee, very strange situation that occurs only about every 18 years. ;
Finally certainly clear that although the moon has a direct impact on the earth tides, the perigee will not cause any natural disaster against what some (at best we will see slightly higher tides, but nothing else .)
