Talk of super-moon dawning this Poya ... after 68 years

Talk of super-moon dawning this Poya ... after 68 years

Unlike on other full moon days, the full moon anticipated this coming Monday, there is an opportunity for people on earth to see the moon in a large perspective after a period of 68 long years, it is reported. The NASA Institute of America as well as the Planetarium have made a scientific explanation in this connection.

In this case the moon would be seen 14% bigger

than previously and is known as the Super Moon. The speciality this day is that the distance spanning the earth and the moon would be decreasing on this day. As a result the moon could be seen with a 30% brighter outlook than on other days. Prior to this a similar instance of this nature was observed in the year 1948 and in future a Super Moon of this type could be observed by inhabitants on earth on November 25th 2034 once again.

The moon would be travelling in the shape of an ellipse and at a moment when it moves on its track closer to earth and if it happens to be a full-moon Poya Day, then the moon is seen in a large perspective as stated, it is said. At such a moment, the sun, the earth and the moon ... all three heavenly bodies would be placed on one single line. The normal distance between the earth and the moon is 384,400 kms. But on November 14, 2016 when a Super Moon is to be noticed, the distance is approximately 356,400 kms. At a future date such as November 25, 2034 it would be observed at a proximity of 356,500 kms. and on December 6, 2052 at a proximity of 356,425 kms. As there is an influence of the moon in the case of tidal waves, on this particular day when the moon is close to the earth, there could be an increase of tidal waves, it has been scientifically explained.

If one was to look at the skies on Poya Day at about 7.30 in the night, it would be possible to witness with the naked eye the brilliance and the expansion of the size  of the moon. The explanation given by the NASA Institute in this respect across the video, from below
