Super Full Moon treat this Sunday
The biggest Super Full Moon this year will occur on Sunday, December 3, and will be visible from 6pm onward in Thailand, a leading astronomer said on Tuesday.
Saran Poshyachinda, the director of the National Astronomical Research Institute, said next month's phenomenon will occur when the moon's orbit is closest to the earth, and will be about 357,973 kilometres away.
He said the distance will be about 14 per cent shorter than the apogee phenomenon, when the moon is farthest from earth.
At that distance, the Supermoon on December 3 will be about 30 times brighter than normal.
Saran added that the biggest Supermoon for next year will occur on January 2 with the moon being about 356,595 kilometres from the earth.
