A supermoon is a new or full moon that occurs when the Moon is closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit. This makes the Moon appear larger and brighter than usual.
The upcoming supermoon, which will be visible in Singapore on July 13, 2023, is expected to be the largest and brightest of the year. It will be located about 357,264 kilometers from Earth, which is about 30,000 kilometers closer than the average distance.
The supermoon will rise in the east-southeastern horizon at around 7:09 p.m. on July 13 and will reach its peak illumination at 12:08 a.m. on July 14. It will then set in the west-southwestern horizon at around 6:54 a.m. on July 14.
The best time to view the supermoon is during moonrise or moonset, when it is close to the horizon and appears larger due to atmospheric refraction. The moon will also appear more orange or red during these times due to the scattering of blue light by the Earth’s atmosphere.
If the weather is clear, the supermoon should be visible with the naked eye or binoculars. However, for the best views, it is recommended to use a telescope.
