This morning, I was listening to the radio as usual, I heard that, a romantic coincidence will hanppen tonight, on the Chinese Lantern Festival.

What's that? The supermoon will come at 23:54 Beijing time!

How it comes?

According to the astronomer, a supermoon occurs when the moon's orbit is closest (perigee) to the Earth at the same time it is full, according to NASA.

The distance between the two celestial bodies changes due to the elliptical orbit of the moon around the Earth. The average distance is about 363,300 kilometers. On February 2019, the Earth-Moon distance is about 356,800 kilometers, making the moon 14% bigger and 30% brighter compared to its appearance at its average distance from Earth, said expert from the Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It's rare for a supermoon to occur on the Chinese Lantern Festival. The last one happened on February 28, 2010, and the next time is expected on February 9, 2029.

We should cherish the time and cherish the person who accompany you all the time! Let's enjoy the time with family!
