According to NASA, the time of the maximum moon falls at 10:32 pm on April 27 (Vietnam time), so without specialized equipment, people will not be able to observe at that time. However, those who love astronomy can fully admire the supermoon the night before and after the maximum (lasting from the evening of 26 to 27.4).

The term “supermoon” coined in 1979 by astrologer Richard Nolle, used to refer to the time when the full moon or new moon has the closest orbit to Earth. Then, the moon will be about 15% brighter and about 7% larger than normal.

The name “super pink moon” is translated from English as “super pink moon” but the moon is not really pink when this phenomenon occurs. The moon on the “super pink super moon” day is still the usual yellow color. The name of this supernatural phenomenon comes from the name of the flower genus (moss phlox) originating from the eastern and central regions of the United States, usually blooming on the full moon day of April.

In addition, the pink supermoon is also called with other names associated with the proliferation of things such as sprouting grass moon, egg moon, fish moon, and breaking ice moon … It is considered a symbol of fertility.

As noted by Thanh Nien, more than 18:30, the moon begins to appear with a dark yellow color on the horizon, then gradually turns into bright white when it reaches the top of the head. The weather is not so favorable because it is sometimes cloudy, so the people of Ho Chi Minh City have chosen open places with high views to enjoy the wind and watch the moon after a tiring working day.

Mr. Hua Chan Hung (26 years old, Tan Binh) is currently a vocal teacher in Ho Chi Minh City. He said that he is a person who loves astronomy since childhood, so every time he knows information about any interesting phenomenon, he is also waiting to enjoy and take pictures. He said he was aware of this “super pink moon” event 6 months ago because he regularly followed information from NASA.

“That now I have never ignored any astronomical phenomenon. On April 26, I went to Thu Duc City with my girlfriend to take a photo. Today, I go to the terrace of my house to see the moon. I have read that today the moon will be bigger and rounder than yesterday, so I have 4 lenses ready to take pictures. Honestly, the weather today is not as favorable as because there are many clouds, but looking at the moon so big, I still see “high”, Mr. Hung smiled.

While watching and photographing this super moon, Mr. Hung did not forget to publish articles to a group of people who love astronomy so that everyone can admire the beauty of the “super pink moon” in Ho Chi Minh City.

So he prepared all the tools. to “hunt” the moon. “Usually I also like taking pokes, so today we go with friends to Bach Dang station (District 1) to watch the moon and take a test shot. I hope to have some photos like this, because this phenomenon is not always encountered in life. Fortunately, the weather today is quite favorable, many days ago it was raining every night, ”he said.

Mrs. Nguyen Hong Anh (54 years old, living in Binh Thanh District) said that today I absolutely do not know there is a super moon. While walking with her husband, the moons were so beautiful that the two of them sat on the bench to watch for a while. “The moon is brighter and bigger than usual. It looks so beautiful. Listen to me (PV) say the meaning of this moon is fertility and proliferation, so I hope the translation of Covid-19 in the world will be pushed back, life will soon return to normal “, she hopes.

According to The Premier Daily, May 26 to the next super moon will appear and coincidentally this is also the time of the total lunar eclipse. Then, the moon will turn orange-red in about 15 minutes, called the “blood moon” phenomenon. Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, will have the opportunity to admire this rare “super blood moon” phenomenon.
