Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Supermoon or a Super Full Moon will be celestial phenomenon a special one in 2024. Check out the gig schedule below.
This phenomenon occurs during the full moon phase with the Moon being the closest to the Earth in its orbit.
Because the source of the Moon’s light as seen from Earth is the reflection of sunlight, the shape of the Moon as seen from Earth will change. These changes in the shape of the Moon as seen from Earth are called the phases of the Moon.
Of the various phases of the Moon, there are four main phases, namely the new moon phase, the early half-full moon phase (first quarter), the full moon phase, and the late half-full moon phase (last quarter).
The shape of the Moon’s orbit when the Moon revolves around the Earth is an ellipse. As a result, there will be a time when the Moon is closest to the Earth, which is called perigee.
On the other hand, if the Moon is farthest from Earth, it is called apogee.
The period of revolution of the Moon in its orbital plane is calculated from the position of perigee to apogee and back to perigee which is called the anomalistic period, which on average takes 27.55455 days (27 days 13 hours 18 minutes 33 seconds).
BMKG in the official page said that the new Moon phase will not observe the size of the Moon, except during a solar eclipse. It is the comparison of the size of the Moon during the full moon phase at apoge with the Moon during the full moon phase at perigee that can be observed well.
