'Supermoon' lights up sky around the world

'Supermoon' lights up sky around the world

        

       

The moon has come closer to Earth than at any other time since 1948. Sky gazers around the world are congregating near landmarks, on beaches and atop tall buildings to take a look.

The 'supermoon' reached its brightest in Asia on Monday evening.

The Moon was closest - only 221,524 miles (356,509km) away - at 11:21 GMT.

The moon orbits the Earth in an ellipse, not a circle, so it is sometimes closer to the Earth than it is at other times.

When the perigee - the closest approach - and the full moon coincide, it is known as a supermoon.

This supermoon was best seen in North America early on Monday, before dawn. The UK's best chance to see it will be on Monday evening.

Supermoons appear about 14% larger and 30% brighter when compared with the furthest point the Moon gets to within its orbit.

The moon will not be this close again until 25 November 2034 - when it will be even closer, within 221,485 miles.

Those hoping to get a good picture are advised to take a photo of the moon with a reference point, like a landmark, in frame.

If you're using a digital SLR - use a daylight white balance setting to capture moonlight, Nasa photographer Bill Ingalls advises.

En Aranjuez con Tu Amor-  Sarah Brightman

Aranjuez,
Un lugar de ensueños y de amor
Donde un rumor de fuentes de cristal
En el jardín parece hablar
En voz baja a las rosas

Aranjuez,
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tu y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos

Quizá ese amor escondido esté
En un atardecer
En la brisa o en la flor
Esperando tu regreso

Aranjuez,
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tu y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos

En Aranjuez, amor
Tu y yo

과연 "Supermoon"이로군요.
천체의 타원궤도를 제대로 보게되었네요~~

그런데 여기선 사라의 노래가 안들려여~~들국화.
