Live Science advocated on Sunday May 5,2012, supermoon term used to describe the full phase of the moon that occurs when a noncircular orbit was at its nearest point of the Earth. These circumstances make the moon is approximately 221.802 miles (356 955 kilometers) away from Earth.
Supermoon not only light, but also bring some facts and myths behind the appearing. Here are some interesting facts and myths about it.
1. Supermoon will look big as rising to the sky. Scientists don't know why, but supermoon seem larger when near the horizon.
According to scientists, this is the moon illusion in our minds. To raise it is by comparison it to the eraser or other small objects.
Hold the object in hand and comparability it to the size of the Moon as its gains. Do the equal thing again in the in-between of the night when the Moon was at its gamiest position. The size of the Moon is not going to change.
2. Supermoon will not destruct the Earth. There is the pull of gravitation when the Moon approachings. But even though the Earth, Moon and Sun align one line and triggers the full-of-the-moon, supermoon still will not destruct the Earth.
"The Moon and the Sun is a bit hit Earth. With fine aid to when they are parallel of latitude to the tectonic action would seem a very small growth," said seismologist from the University of Washington, John Vidale.
3. Supermoon light brighter than a meteor force. The annual Eta Aquarid meteor storm gave its peak at the end of this week. But supermoon will get in invisible, except for the brightest meteors.
4. Some images are very large full moon is a hoax photography. Maybe you've seen pictures of a very large full-of-the-moon behind the mount or perched in trees. This is an effect that is created using a zoom lens or telescope.
