What it is super moon? And how
special is the June 23, 2013?
Full moon falls on June 23, 2013
at 11:32 universal time (15:32 Abu Dhabi time). This full moon is not only the
closest and largest full moon of the year. It also presents the moon’s closest
encounter (221853 miles) with Earth for all of 2013 . The moon will not be so close again until
August, 2014.
Astronomers call this phenomenon
as perigee full moon. This describes the moon’s closest point to Earth for a
given month. Last year, we heard this term again to describe the year’s closest
full moon on May 6, 2012. Now the term super moon is being used a lot. Last
month May was was also a super moon but the June full moon is even more bigger.
In other words, the time of full moon falls even closer to the time of perigee,
the moon’s closest point to Earth.
