Tonight and tomorrow, Vietnam admires the magic of the “super pink moon”

According to the Time and Date page, the positioning in Ho Chi Minh City shows that the maximum time – that is, when the super-pink full moon – will fall at 10:31 a.m. on April 27.

Of course, it was impossible to observe the super pink super moon around midday. But the hallmark of a super moon is that the moon falls to a point near the Earth in its orbit at the exact phase of the full moon, so it will grow to the same size over the course of a few days, with almost absolute fullness as the naked eye is sometimes difficult to discern.

Therefore, tonight April 26 and tomorrow evening April 27 will be a good time for those who want to admire the pink super moon.

According to NASA, the moon will look very round for 3 days around the maximum point. NASA said the term “supermoon” was coined in 1979 by astrologer Richard Nolle, referring to a new moon or full moon accidentally located near Earth. If we divide the distance between the moon and Earth on a scale of 1 to 10 on its orbit, the “supermoon” appears when it falls about 10% closest to Earth. We can’t see the new moon, the moon on nights of the 30th, the 1st of the lunar calendar, is always in the dark, so super moons are becoming more popular.

The name “pink super moon” comes from Americans calling the April moon “pink moon”, but this moon is not pink. The name “pink moon” is taken from the alluring color of the phlox flower, which blooms across North America in April. If you are expecting a colorful moon, then you have to wait for the May Full Moon, also a super moon, to occur at the same time as the Lunar Eclipse, so it becomes a “Blood Super Moon”.
