ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): Astrologist have forecast largest
super moon since 1948 coming on middle night of November 13-14 as
the full moon will not come this close to earth again until Nov. 25,
2034.
This month is the second in a series of three consecutive
super moons happening late in 2016, with the first taking place in
October, and the last in December.
A super moon is a new or full moon closely coinciding with
perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit, as
`Perigee’ means “near Earth”, a Meteorological expert told APP.
He informed that an astrologer, Richard Nolle, coined the term
super moon over 30 years ago, but now many in astronomy use it as
well. There are 4-6 super moons a year on average.
According to the definition of super moon coined by Nolle, the
year 2016 has a total of six super moons. The new moons of March,
April and May and the full moons of October, November and December
all qualify as super moons.
