The land offers a unique Eclipse of superlumi

People in most regions of the Earth will be able to see the unique astronomical phenomenon - total Eclipse of SUPERLINE. The satellite is in perigee, i.e. at a short distance from our planet, can be seen with the naked eye on September 27.

Supermoon is called our natural satellite when it is at perigee, i.e., at a close distance from the Earth. In the current quarter as a result of the explicit location of celestial bodies in the Solar system. the episode coincides with a full lunar Eclipse. It tells the National office of the United States in Aeronautics and space research (NASA), the last time this rare astronomical phenomenon occurred in 1982, and then again only in 2033.

To see the full Eclipse of the moon can be in all areas of North and South America, Europe, Africa, West Asia and the Eastern Pacific region. This time it was going to be particularly impressive, because the supermoon will appear 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual.

This happens due to the fact that natural satellite rotates in a circular and elliptical orbit around our planet, and moving away from it in her apogee at 405,6 thousand km and closer at perigee on 363,7 thousand km the Average distance from the earth to the moon is 384,6 thousand km, says TASS.

Since the beginning of the last century total Eclipse of superlumi happened only 5 times: in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964 and 1982. Along with this the usual lunar Eclipse phenomenon is considered fairly routine. According to the calculations of astrologers, it can be seen in any part of the Earth approximately every 2 and a half years.
