Supermoon in July 2022: The super full moon is bigger and brighter than the full moon in June – when is the next super moon?
On the same day, at around 11:05 a.m., the full moon will reach its closest point to earth for that month. Then it is about 357,260 kilometers away from the earth – whereby one measures from the two centers of the celestial bodies. On July 13, the Trabant also reaches its shortest distance to Earth for this year. The largest full moon in July 2022 and thus also the largest super moon 2022 can be seen in Deutschland can’t see it fully as the moon will not appear until sunset.
Don’t like getting up at night? Then the super moon in July 2022 is just right for hobby astronomers. Because the super moon will not only be visible on the night of July 13, 2022, but already in the evening. The sky spectacle should already be visible in Germany around 10:00 p.m. So at a perfect time for people who are not night owls. But what exactly is a super moon?
When is the super moon 2022 coming?
The next Supermoon will be visible in the night sky on Wednesday, July 13, 2022. The super moon in July 2022 comes particularly close to Earth at 11:05 a.m. at a distance of 357,264 kilometers. The brightest supermoon of the year in Germany can only be observed after sunset, when it is a little further away.
What is a super moon?
A supermoon is a full moon or new moon that is at most 360,000 kilometers from the center of the earth.
What is special about a super moon?
Because the moon is closer to Earth than usual at the time of a supermoon, the full moon appears about 7 to 14 percent larger in the night sky than on normal lunar days, according to NASA. The difference corresponds to the difference between a one euro coin and a two euro coin. Due to the increasing area, more sunlight is reflected by the moon, so that it also appears significantly brighter.
On nights with a supermoon in the sky, the sky appears much brighter to us. The reason: On such nights, the earth reaches about 30 percent more sunlight, which is reflected from the moon towards the earth – and this is due to the apparently larger lunar surface. This makes a super moon shine up to 30 percent brighter. In order to actually recognize the difference in brightness, however, one needs astronomical measuring instruments.
Supermoon: How the full moon will affect our earth on June 14, 2022 – stronger tides and increased risk of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
Like the rest of the new and full moons, the supermoon affects the earth and life on our blue planet. As the full moon comes closer to the earth, the tides intensify. Ebb and flow are stronger. There is talk of a spring tide.
In addition to his definition of the supermoon, the astrologer Richard Nolle also put forward the thesis that it influences nature and increases the likelihood of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Scientists, however, referred the considerations to the realm of esotericism.
Full moon in July: when is the next super moon in 2022
If the full moon in July is missed, Astro fans will have to wait more than a year until the super moon and full moon meet again. Because the next super full moon will have to wait until August 2023, until it comes as close to earth as the super moon in July 2022.
When is the next super full moon in 2022?
After the super full moon on July 13, 2022, there will be no more super moon to marvel at this year, since the next super full moon will not come close to Earth again until August 31, 2023. The July 2022 supermoon is 357,264 kilometers from Earth. Although the moon will come particularly close to the earth again in December, it will then be in its new moon phase and will not really be visible to us.
At a distance of around 406,270 kilometers, the moon will then reach its most distant orbital point on July 26 at noon. Two days later, on July 28th, the new moon phase occurs. The moon reached its furthest point (apogee) for the entire year on June 29, 2022.
But first of all, in addition to the super moon in July 2022, there are other phenomena and highlights to observe apart from the spectacular full moon in July. For example, the Stars of the Summer Trianglethe Jupiter as the brightest planet conjunct the moon or the Saturn, also the moon in July close, admire. With a bit of luck, you can even see parts of the Milky Way in the night sky. In addition, already show up first Shooting stars for the summer of 2022 in July.
