This supercomplete will be the biggest this year. It will occur on May 26 at 1:15 pm, but the Moon will approach us the most at 3:53 am. His closest approach to Earth will therefore take place a little earlier than the full moon itself. It will be 357,300 km from us, so if you want to wait for the biggest full moon in 2021, wait for the west of the moon on Wednesday around four in the morning,Commented an interesting phenomenon photographer and popularizer astronomy Petr Horálek from the Institute of Physics of the Silesian University in Opava.

In some countries it was possible to observe i bloody supermoon, which occurs at the maximum stage of the full moon in combination with a total lunar eclipse. „During it, the Moon penetrates the Earth’s shadow, and because at the same time the redheads, broken by the Earth’s atmosphere, fall on it inside the Earth’s shadow, the Moon catches an unusual reddish color,“Explained Pavel Gabzdyl from the Brno Observatory and Planetarium.

Phase total eclipse will take place primarily in Oceania, but also low above the horizon in the western United States or eastern Asia. “It will take only 14 and a half minutes at the time of the full moon, specifically between 13:11 and 13:26 CEST,“Horálek added.

Another bloody supermoon should appear on October 8, 2033, but it will not be visible in the Czech Republic again. We’ll see a bloody supermoon October 19, 2051.
