A rare coincidence: the inhabitants of Russia are watching the super moon

On Tuesday, February 19, the last super-moon of the year began. At 12:07 Moscow time, the Moon was at a minimum distance from the Earth in 2019 — there were only 356,761 km between the two space objects. In this case, at 18:54 Moscow time, the full moon began. According to astronomers, usually these two cosmic events separate in time about three days. “A super moon occurs every year, but close coincidences of these two moments (perigee and full moon) are quite rare,” explained Ludmila Koshman of the Moscow Planetarium. RT is a live broadcast.
