When is the best time to enjoy the moon?
The moon rises at the earliest time since 1991.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. How about the moonlight? According to the forecast of Guangdong Astronomical Society, this year's Mid-Autumn Moon is the largest in nine years and the earliest in 15 years, although there is no foreign moon.
"The moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China"
The full moon appears at 11: 13 on October 7th (August 16th of the lunar calendar). At that time, our country was in the middle of noon, so we couldn't see the moon. Therefore, we couldn't see the roundest mid-autumn moon in the Year of the Dog in all parts of our country, but we could see the roundest mid-autumn moon in the Year of the Dog in Canada, the United States and Brazil in the western hemisphere. It is speculated that it will be until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year that China can watch the roundest Mid-Autumn Moon in the Year of the Pig.
It will take another nine years to miss this year
According to the calculation, at 22: on October 6th (August 15th of the lunar calendar), the moon will move to the nearest place to the earth, with only 357,41 kilometers between them. The closer the moon is to the earth, the bigger people will feel when they see it. The last time the Mid-Autumn Moon was from the Earth was in 1997, and the next time will be in 215. If you miss the biggest mid-autumn moon in the year of the dog, you will have to wait until nine years before you can see the biggest and roundest mid-autumn moon.
The earliest time for the moon to rise in 15 years

It is reported that the sunset time in Guangzhou was 18: 1 that day. Therefore, in Guangzhou and even all parts of the country, before the sunset on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the round autumn moon and autumn day echoed at the same time. They were one east and one west, one yellow and one red, one big and one small, adding endless autumn colors to the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Year of the Dog.

The last solar calendar date of Mid-Autumn Festival occurred on October 7, 1987 at the latest, and the next one will appear on October 6, 225. The Mid-Autumn Festival takes place in the first ten days of October in the solar calendar, which enables the public to watch the Mid-Autumn Moon for a longer time. For example, in Guangzhou, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival night, the moonlight time is as long as 12 hours and 33 minutes (there is no time from the moon to the moon). In any place in the northern hemisphere, the moonlight can be seen for more than 12 hours on Mid-Autumn Festival night this year.
