This evening the moon rose bigger and brighter than average, thanks to a combination of the moon being full and being in Phrygia - the closest point to the Earth
The earth, the sun and the moon are bound together by the force of gravity which ensures that we revolve around the sun and that the moon revolves around us as well as the moon shows. The moon orbits the earth every 29.5 days, but the rotation is not a perfect circle. The average distance of the moon from us is 384,400 kilometers, but at its peak today it came as close as 356,567 kilometers, appearing 14% larger and 30% brighter than other full moons.
The tides were higher than usual due to the combination of the pull of the sun and the moon.
The Space.com website tells us a few things about the moon, one of which we published yesterday on the website of the scientist from the mouth of Prof. Yoav Yair, that The moon moves away from us by almost 4 centimeters per year, and eventually, when the Sun expands and becomes a red giant the Moon may collide with the Earth. The site also states that there is no proof that full moons make people go crazy. Also, the beaches are more polluted during a full moon because of the high tides.
Only on a day when the moon is full, it rises exactly when the sun sets. Due to an optical illusion, the machine The Moon Illusion It appears larger at sunrise than when it is higher in the sky.
The fact that the Sun is on the exact opposite side of the Earth from the Moon makes it appear full. Sunlight hits the full face of the moon and returns to us from the surface of the moon. Interestingly, due to celestial mechanics, the moon is never XNUMX percent full. In order for this to happen, there must be a straight line between the sun, the earth (in between) and the moon, but when this condition is met - a total eclipse of the moon occurs.

I'm not sure how long the moon gets full
Does the full moon affect a person's character?
From the angle we see the moon it is quite small but up close it is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And very beautiful and it is really far from the earth
Well, then the moon is also suffocated by the stench and pollution raised by the stupid people on earth who destroy the globe like there is no tomorrow - and moves away from us 4 cm a year?
When you see it up close it is simply amazing
Kobe:
Definitely!
The tidal forces act on everything.
The sea is liquid and therefore it is more noticeable in it, but every part of the earth is subject to these forces.
There are places in the solar system where these forces get a really dramatic expression, such as on the island moon of Jupiter, which "suffers" from extensive volcanic activity due to the tidal forces it is subject to.
There is a claim that says that when it is close to the Earth, it may influence or accelerate the release of pressure at the boundary of tectonic plates.
Is this claim true?
With the moon moving away from us, how could it collide with the earth?
