Amazing! People from all over China enjoy the supermoon together

On October 17, the largest full moon of the year appeared in the night sky, and the "supermoon" was visible in most parts of China. This full #moon is the closest to the moon's perigee, so it is not only a "supermoon" but also the largest moon in 2024. How can one appreciate this largest full #moon of the year? A senior engineer from the #Shenzhen Astronomical Observatory suggested that since the lunar topography we see during the full moon has no shadows and a weak sense of three-dimensionality, the viewing effect through a #telescope is not good. Therefore, for this largest full moon on the night of the 17th, the best way is to watch it directly without a telescope.#SplendidLingnan

10月17日，本年度最大满月现身夜空，全国大部均可见“超级月亮”。此次满月时刻是与月球近地点时刻最接近的一次，因此这轮圆月不仅是一轮“超级月亮”，还是2024年最大月亮。如何欣赏这轮年度最大满月？深圳市天文台高级工程师建议，由于满月时我们看到的月球地形地貌没有影子，立体感不强，在望远镜内的观赏效果一般，因此对于17日晚的这轮最大满月，裸眼观赏是最好的方式。
