Largest super full moon of 2020 visible in SA

The largest super full moon of 2020, also known as a pink moon in parts of the northern hemisphere, will be visible in South Africa on 8 April at 4:35 am.

When a full moon is on its closest approach to Earth, it is called a super full moon. When the Moon’s orbit is closest to Earth, it sits on the point of perigee. The best time to enjoy a super full moon, or any other full moon, is just after moonrise, when the Moon is close to the horizon. Just before moonset is also a good time.

When the full moon is low, it looks bigger and brighter than when it’s higher up in the sky.

Tonight’s Super Full Moon!! According to Wikipedia “A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow) is a rainbow produced by moonlight rather than direct sunlight.” 🌈🌝 #moonbow #fullmoon #superfullmoon #shotoniphone11promax
