But what is Superluna? This phenomenon occurs when our satellite is at the full moon phase (full moon) at the same time as the point closest to the earth (perigee).
Moment Perigee took place on May 26 at 3.52am, Instead of the full moon 13.16. May became Supermoon The biggest in 2021Compared to previous supermoons, the satellite reached a very short distance (357,312 km) from Earth.
The word “supermoon” was coined by an astrologer in 1979 (Richard Knoll), which is why it is not well known by the scientific community, and astronomers prefer to refer to the event with the lesser pair of words “perigee” -size. Instead the term “CGC” is used to refer to the alignment of three celestial bodies belonging to the same gravitational system.
