Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Supermoon or a Super Full Moon will be celestial phenomenon a special in 2024. Check out the concert schedule below.
This phenomenon occurs during the full moon phase, when the Moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit.
Since 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 lunar phases.
Of the various moon phases, there are four main phases, namely the new moon phase, the half full moon phase (first quarter), the full moon phase and the late half moon phase (last quarter).
The shape of the Moon’s orbit when the Moon goes around the Earth is an ellipse. As a result, there will be a time when the Moon will be closest to the Earth, called perigee.
If, however, the Moon is further away from the Earth, it is called apogee.
The period of revolution of the Moon in its orbital plane is calculated from the position from perigee to apogee and back to perigee, called the anomalistic period, which on average lasts 27.55455 days (27 days 13 hours 18 minutes 33 seconds).
BMKG on its official website said that the new moon-sized lunar phase will not be observed, except during a solar eclipse. What can be observed well is the comparison between the size of the Moon during the full moon phase at apogee and the size of the Moon during the full moon phase at perigee.
