Where, when and how is Wednesday celebrated in France?

What is Super Thunder Moon?

Maybe it’s just a full moon, but it’s more visible and exciting, because it will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter, and the satellite is at perigee, that is, closest to Earth. A supermoon “occurs when the Moon’s orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time as the Moon is full.” This time, the moon will be located 357,264 kilometers from our planet, according to NASA. It is called “super thunder phenomenon” or “perihelion phenomenon” according to astronomers, because it appears at this time of year, the hottest and stormiest in the northern hemisphere.

When do you watch it?

This giant moon will be visible from 10pm on July 13 in France. It will remain in the sky until 4:52 a.m. on July 14. Another phenomenon that will occur on the night of July 13 to 14: a comet passing 270 million km from Earth at a speed of 615 km / s. However, it is difficult to see without equipment.

and how?

The weather conditions should be perfect, with clear skies due to good weather, observable with the naked eye using binoculars or telescopes. Notes can also be made using French Association of Astronomy Clubs. For those who sleep, a final make-up session will be offered to them on August 11th.
