Supermoon of 2022 to appear above Vietnam

Hanoi (VNA) – Astronomy lovers in Vietnam are in an extremely favourable position
to observe the “super buck moon”, which will turn
full at 1:38 am
on July 14 (Vietnam time).
This particular moon will look more beautiful than in countries in other continents
if it is observed in Vietnam.
July's full moon will once again be
a supermoon, reaching its perigee or closest point to our planet
on July 13, according to the website space.com.
The moon will officially reach its peak at 9 am (GMT) or 4pm
(Vietnam time) on July 13. Nine
hours and 38 minutes later, the moon will officially turn full.
At its closest point to the Earth, the biggest and brightest
full moon of the
year will be only 357,264 km from the Earth, so the moon will be spectacularly
large.
The most valuable moment for observing this is at sunset. The optical
conditions will create the "moon illusion" phenomenon that makes the
moon even bigger than it actually is.
Supermoon is not an orthodox astronomical term, but rather a kind of nickname
given by scientists to the appearance of unusually large moons. A supermoon
occurs when the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its orbit./.
