this night (June 14) we will have a call”strawberry supermoon“. Despite the different name, the event is Full moon a little bigger and brighter. Some astronomers believe that the term is exaggeratedsince the difference can be observed with specific tools such as telescopes or high resolution photos. As for the name, it was created by the Native Americans, who nicknamed this month’s full moon in reference to a fruit ripe in that region.

Astronomical calendar for June: check out the main predicted phenomena
Among the main events we will have a Supermoon and Mercury’s major western elongation.

For those who are interested, 17:40 (Brazil time) after sunsetin the east, will be visible all night. The first hour is the best time to follow because changes in tone are possible. And those who cannot enjoy it at night will have the opportunity to follow the next day.

July 13take place inDeer Supermoon” – another name came from the traditions of the northern hemisphere, the period when the horns of this species regenerate. As previously reported, by connected worldthis is the explanation of the event:

“For the supermoon phenomenon to occur, the new or full phase of the star must coincide with perigee, as the point of the lunar orbit closest to the Earth is called. During this period, the satellite is at a distance of about 363,000 kilometers from our planet.

Check out the rest astronomical calendar before the end of this month:

Mercury’s greatest western elongation (6/16)

This will be the period when Mercury will be at its furthest point from the Sun, or, as some people call it, at its “greatest western elongation.” As a result, for enthusiasts, the planet is less dazzled by the glare to which it is normally subjected, and is easier to observe. However, as is usually the case with astronomical phenomena, anyone who wants to enjoy this phase must be in a place without light pollution and fairly open.

June Solstice (21/06)

It is the shortest day of the year, common at the start of winter in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is entering summer, and unlike the southern hemisphere, it will have the earliest day of 2022. This phenomenon occurs because the Sun reaches its greatest declination in latitude with respect to the equator, as a result of which the sun’s rays reach the Earth’s hemispheres, which marked the beginning of the already known characteristics of summer, with all its advantages and disadvantages.

Micromun (28.06)

As the opposite of a supermoon, this phase occurs when a natural satellite is at its furthest point from our planet, also known as “apogee”. On the 28th, another Tuesday, it will be possible to observe the stars without the interference of the normal brightness of the Moon. However, it is worth noting that this will be a new phase, a period more hidden from enthusiasts.
