While researchers from the NASA have been recommended to appreciate theSuperluna from the night of this Sunday, the best time for viewing will be done from the early hours of Monday the 14th of November.
The perigee, i.e. the point closest to the Earth in its orbit, it will reach at 6:22.m. in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador; 8:22.m. in Chile and Argentina; and 12:22 p. m. in Spain.
This Superluna is the most important of a series of three, which will be completed by December 14th. The previous one occurred on the 16th of October.
except for the eclipse Superluna 2015 , there has not been, nor will there be a full Moon so special in a long time. The natural satellite is not close to the Earth since 1948 and the phenomenon will not recur until within 18 years, experts note.
What is the best way to see a Superluna?
first, of course, is to go to a place that is open and peaceful, away from the big cities and the artificial lighting is very powerful.
like any full moon, the celestial body looks bigger and extremely bright if you look when it appears on the horizon.
Although the superlunas look 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the full moon in common, they are even more amazing when they are in the line of the horizon and not high in the sky.
Figures moles
This will be an excellent opportunity to appreciate the hidden figures in the geography of the moon.
The silhouette is more recognizable is that of a rabbit with long ears. Even the maya created a legend to explain what was then a mystery.
The legend involving the god Quetzalcoatl who, before the act of generosity of a rabbit who offered to feed him in a moment of extreme need, he decided to raise it to the Moon in gratitude.
The observers more acute – Cleopatra and Abraham Lincoln among them – said they had seen a human face in the surface of the Moon. Surely it was the same that inspired the famous sequence of the film Le Voyage dans la Lune (Trip to the Moon), the pioneering French filmmaker George Meliés.
