Imad Mujahed, an astronomer from the
Royal Astronomical Society of Britain, explained that the Supermoon phenomenon happens when a full
moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth. This alignment creates an
optical illusion, making the moon look larger and more radiant to observers,
the Jordan News Agency, Petra reported
The Supermoon is expected to be in its full phase at around
9:31 PM local time. However, Mujahed reassured the public that this
astronomical event poses no negative impacts on daily life or geological
processes. It may lead to slightly higher tides in the world's oceans, but it
won't cause any significant concerns.
Enthusiasts and photographers are encouraged to take
advantage of this unique opportunity to witness and capture the remarkable
event. He added that taking advantage of its sighting during the sunset could
lead to more picturesque scenes.
