Hold on!
There are 3 days left
We can welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival!
According to the introduction
This year's Mid-Autumn Moon will have a "round sixteen moons"
Encounter the "Supermoon" and other highlights
"Fifteen Moons and Sixteen Rounds"
This year the moon's roundest time (hope) will occur
10:34 a.m. Beijing time on September 18
It is the 16th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar
however
It's not the "Mid-Autumn Moon" every year
The roundest time is on this day
According to statistics and forecasts, in the 100 years from 1951 to 2050, the "fifteenth moon and fifteen rounds" appeared 39 times, the "sixteenth round" appeared 48 times, and the "seventeen rounds" appeared 13 times.
Among them, in the past 10 years (2015 to 2024), the Mid-Autumn Moon has 3 times in the "15th Circle", 5 times in the "16th Circle", and 2 times in the "17th Circle".
Why is this happening? According to reports, because the Moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical, the speed of its revolution is uneven.
According to Kepler's law, the Moon moves faster when it is close to the Earth; When the Moon is far away from the Earth, the Moon moves more slowly. There is a difference of 13 hours between the maximum and minimum time it takes for the Moon to orbit the Earth, so there is a difference in the timing of the Full Moon each month.
If the "pace" of the moon is slow before "looking", then it will take longer to go from "Shuo" to "Wang", so there will be a phenomenon of fifteen, sixteen, or even seventeen circles of the moon on the fifteenth.
All regions of the continent
I can't see the "roundest Mid-Autumn Moon"
Due to the fact that during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the fullest moon (hope) occurred at 10:34 Beijing time on September 18, at this time, the moon in all regions of the mainland has sunk in the west.
From a global point of view, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the regions that can see the "roundest Mid-Autumn Festival" include all of Africa, all of Europe, all of South America, western Asia, and central and eastern North America; The whole of Oceania, the western part of North America, and most of Asia cannot see the "roundest Mid-Autumn Moon".

Encounter with the "Supermoon"
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, a round of "supermoon" will add a lot of atmosphere to this traditional festival.
At 21:22 on September 18, Beijing time, the perigee of the Moon, the distance between the Moon and the Earth was 357286 kilometers, and the apparent diameter of the Moon was 33′50", which was 48,925 kilometers closer than the distance between the Moon and the Earth when the Moon was too apogee this month (September 5).
Although this year, the "roundest Mid-Autumn Moon" will not be seen in the mainland
But the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 17)
It is relatively close to the date of the "perigee of the Moon".
Therefore, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be "larger"
