It is a beautiful spectacle to contemplate despite the confinement. On the night of Tuesday, April 7 to Wednesday, April 8, it will be enough to raise your eyes towards the sky to enjoy the spectacle offered by the "Super moon", the largest full moon of the year, explains the website L'Internaute .

The phenomenon is due to a shorter distance than usual between the Earth and its natural satellite. This will be located 357,000 kilometers from our planet.

A show until 4:35 a.m.

The Moon will appear 7% larger than usual and 30% brighter. This "Super Moon" of April appears each year after the spring equinox. It is called "Pink Super Moon" in reference to the pink spring flowers of the cherry trees at this period.

The phenomenon will be visible from France after sunset. However, it will be necessary to wait until 4:35 in the morning to see the perigee, that is to say the moment when the Moon is closest to Earth, advises L'Internaute . Those who would not want to wake up so late will however be able to catch up on October 16, since the perigee of the "Super Moon" is scheduled this time at 11:48 pm.
