It can get unusually light on a May night – when the super moon rises in the sky. Then the moon is very big and particularly bright. Here is all the information.
Dortmund – He is an old friend and yet it is always a spectacle when he shows himself in full glory in the night sky: the full moon. It becomes particularly spectacular when the full moon is preceded by the small but expressive word "super". That will happen in May, as reported by RUHR24 *.
That could make for sleepless nights: When the super moon rises over Germany on May 26th, the full moon * shines up to 30 percent brighter and, due to its shorter distance to earth, looks up to 14 percent larger than usual. The so-called flower moon is not that last super moon this year, in June the spectacle awaits us again. Incidentally, the term flower moon does not go back to an external feature of the moon, but is related to the month of May. This month a particularly large number of flowers are in bloom. Many cultures have given the moon a nickname, depending on what is happening on earth. * RUHR24 is part of the IPPEN.MEDIA editorial network
