The super pink moon is here tonight. Where is the best observation time?

The super moon staged on April 8, 2020 is also called the pink moon, so is this moon pink? When and where is the best observation time? Then let the constellation knowledge reveal the secret for everyone! Let's have a look!

The best observation time of super pink month: 2: 08 on April 8.

The super pink moon is coming tonight. According to the announcement given by the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the largest perigee full moon (super moon) will appear in Tianyu in the early morning of tomorrow (April 8), and the best observation time is from 2: 08 am to dawn. It is reported that because the time difference between this full moon and the moon passing through the perigee is only more than 8 hours, which is the smallest time difference this year, it is generally considered as the "maximum full moon" this year. The four "super moons" in 2020 appeared on February 9, March 10, April 8 and May 7, respectively. "Super moon" means that the moon is just near the perigee during the full moon, because it is closer to the earth than usual and looks bigger than usual according to the visual effect from near to far. According to experts, the period between two perigee visits to the moon is 27.55 days, and the period between two full moons is a new moon, that is, 29.27 -29.83 days. Due to the difference in cycle length, the "super moon" appears no more than four times a year. Wang Huijuan, a researcher at the Nebula Project of the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the nearest super moon can be seen with naked eyes all over China.

What about "Pink Moon"? This full moon is also called "pink moon". Is the moon pink tonight? Of course not. In fact, the "pink moon" refers to the full moon in April, which is a saying in the Native American calendar. When the full moon rises in April, the flowers in spring begin to bloom. Among these flowers in full bloom in April, there is a pink native plant oleander grass in North America. This is the general origin of the pink moon. This is just the different connotations that people give to the moon in different months. In fact, when the moon just rose, it was influenced by the earth's atmosphere. When blue light with shorter wavelength is absorbed or scattered by air and suspended dust in the atmosphere, it will appear slightly red, and sometimes even turn orange-red. So "Super Pink Moon" is more like a gimmick. The moon will not be pink tonight. But don't be disappointed. This is the biggest super moon in a year.

Where is the super pink moon? Today's "super moon" is the largest "super moon" this year, which is nearly 30% larger than the smallest full moon in June this year 10, and it is the most worth seeing this year. The observation conditions of this full moon are ideal. As long as the weather is clear enough to stay indoors, you can watch this round of "super moon" at your doorstep, rooftop and balcony.
