Everyone, today on Sunday 23rd of june 2013, its the super
moon. The moon today would be the biggest and the brightest moon of this year. Stargazers and astronomers will get a rare chance to observe the year's largest fullmoon.
The moon will
be at its closest distance(the Perigee) to Earth in its orbit, a distance of
356,991 km(221,823 miles). Astronomers believe that the supermoon can cause natural
disasters. This Sunday's full moon will have an effect on high and low ocean
tides.
In India, people can watch the supermoon all night after 6.40 pm on Sunday. But the best time to view the full moon is between 4.30 am to 5.30 am (7 am EDT) on Monday when it is very close to the horizon.
One can follow their website on Slooh.com or also watch the live stream that will start on 23 June at 6 pm EDT and 9 pm EDT. Viewers can also download Slooh iPad app from the iTunes store to watch the phenomenon live on their PC, MAC and mobile devices.
my pleasure!!
