Super blue moon to light city skies tonight
Anand MY, a scientist at Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium said, “The term ‘supermoon’ denotes the moon’s close proximity to Earth. As the moon orbits around our planet, there comes a point when it is at its closest. If this coincides with a full moon, it appears larger, by around 15 to 16%. Conversely, when the moon is at its farthest point, it may appear slightly smaller, around 20% smaller than its usual size.
