Biggest Full Moon in almost 20 years

Saturday, March 19, 2011

Assalamualaikum..

Guys, ce intai kat luar sat. Tengok bulan.. Semalam bulan penuh... Tapi hari ni lebih terang dari semalam. Mungkin inilah fenomena bulan penuh terbesar yang dikatakan dalam tempoh hampir 20 tahun. Ok. Take notes that on 19th March 2011 at 8.45pm, saya telah mengintai keluar tingkap dan melihat bulan penuh yang sangat-sangat terang. Hari ini dikatakan bulan penuh dan paling hampir dengan bumi.. Nak tahu fakta? Jom baca kat sini..saya petik dari CNN



(CNN) -- If the moon looks a little bit bigger and brighter this weekend, there's a reason for that. It is.
Saturday's full moon will be a super "perigee moon" -- the biggest in almost 20 years. This celestial event is far rarer than the famed blue moon, which happens once about every two-and-a-half years.
"The last full moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993," said Geoff Chester with the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington. "I'd say it's worth a look."
Full moons look different because of the elliptical shape of the moon's orbit. When it's at perigee, the moon is about 31,000 miles (50,000 km) closer to Earth than when it's at the farthest point of its orbit, also known as apogee.
"Nearby perigee moons are about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than lesser moons that occur on the apogee side of the moon's orbit," the NASA website says.
This full moon will rise in the east at sunset and should look especially big at that time because of what's known as the "moon illusion."
"For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects," according to NASA.
Even though it may look close enough to touch, Saturday's full moon will still be at a healthy distance -- some 211,600 miles (356,577 km) away.
As rare as it is, it may be worth a look. Miss it and you'll have to wait until 2029 to see it again.

 So,what are you waiting for?? Cepat3x..peluang hanya datang 20 tahun sekali. Malam ni bulan penuh dan besar serta paling terang.. It's says that besar bulan pada malam ini adalah 14% dan lebih 30% cerah.. Nampak very the clear.. Dan pemandangan malam ni tak sama macam dalam gambar tu..


Walau di mana kita berada, kita tetap melihat bulan yang sama..jadi, ayuh segera jengah3x ke luar.. mana-mana yang ada kamera super best tu, blehlah capture moment this.. Subhanallah..Indah sungguh ciptaan-MU ya ILAHI

kedudukan bulan pd orbit & kedudukan bumi pada orbit dlm titik tertentu maka terjadilah fenomena ni..
