The last supermoon of 2022 is coming

Thanh Hà |

The full moon - the fourth and last supermoon of 2022 - takes place on August 11.

The last supermoon of 2022 falls on the same day as the iceberg Perseid is approaching its peak, according to NBC News. Inter-ries Perseid will reach their peak from July 14.

According to NASA, "Perseid is one of the most abundant ice rains (50-100 ice stars seen per hour)" and the bright moon could make it more difficult to observe ice rain.

A supermoon occurs when the youngest or fully moon is at its closest position to Earth on a moving orbit, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

However, Old Farmer's Almanac also notes that different publications have different definitions of supermoons.

In general, according to the above definition, the supermoon in 2022 will occur in May, June, July and August.

The supermoon that occurred on August 11 will be 361,409km from Earth, while the supermoon of July will be 357,418km from Earth, according to Old Farmer's Almanac.

The supermoon looks about 7% larger than usual, but the Old Farmer's Almanac emphasizes that it is difficult to know when the Moon will look larger. To really compare when the Moon looks larger, observe when the Moon rises or sets.
