On October 17, the largest full moon of the year appeared in the night sky, and the "supermoon" was visible in most parts of China. This full #moon is the closest to the moon's perigee, so it is not only a "supermoon" but also the largest moon in 2024. How can one appreciate this largest full #moon of the year? A senior engineer from the #Shenzhen Astronomical Observatory suggested that since the lunar topography we see during the full moon has no shadows and a weak sense of three-dimensionality, the viewing effect through a #telescope is not good. Therefore, for this largest full moon on the night of the 17th, the best way is to watch it directly without a telescope.#SplendidLingnan
10月17日,本年度最大满月现身夜空,全国大部均可见“超级月亮”。此次满月时刻是与月球近地点时刻最接近的一次,因此这轮圆月不仅是一轮“超级月亮”,还是2024年最大月亮。如何欣赏这轮年度最大满月?深圳市天文台高级工程师建议,由于满月时我们看到的月球地形地貌没有影子,立体感不强,在望远镜内的观赏效果一般,因此对于17日晚的这轮最大满月,裸眼观赏是最好的方式。
