Supermoon 101: Tips On How To Capture And Watch The Supermoon

Supermoon is about to happen. Experts are giving tips and suggestion on how to watch and capture the most awaited supermoon.

The official name of the super moon is the "perigee-syzygy." The meaning is that the moon is both full and close to the Earth. But most people call it the supermoon. According to NASA, today's Moon will be the show-stopper. It is going to be the nearest supermoon in the past 70 years. People won't be able to view it until 2034.

NASA shared that, "When a full moon makes its closest pass to Earth in its orbit, it appears up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter, making it a super moon," in a report by NPR.

In the United States, the Moon will be at its biggest and brightest, from around Sunday's sunset to Monday's pre-dawn and sunset. In the two days, the Moon will rise at sunset. According to NASA, the Moon will reach its orbital perigee before sunrise Monday at around 6:22 a.m. EST, it will become full at around 8:52 a.m. EST.

Photography, experts advise that do not frame the Moon alone in the sky. "Don't make the mistake of photographing the moon by itself with no reference to anything. Instead, scout a location that can let you add context to the scene." This is according to the senior photographer of NASA, Bill Ingalls.

If you are using a smartphone, Ingalls added that moon lovers cannot most likely get the giant Moon in the frame of your phone. What people can do is do something panoramic, that includes foreground. Look for an urban location where the Moon is more likely brighter, according to ABC News.
