In this Strange year, Another extremely unusual phenomenon is on our way. This year Halloween full moon will be visible to the whole world instead of its parts for the first time since World War II, says Jeffrey Hunt, an astronomy educator and former planetarium director.
“When I was teaching my high school students thought a full moon would come on every Halloween,” Hunt told me. Not quite, however, the decor of the culture ensures that it looks like this. The last Halloween full moon to be seen around the world came in 1944, he said. He wrote about the incident on his web site, while Curves lined up. Halloween was a full moon for some places in 1955, but that doesn’t include western North America and the western Pacific, Hunt says.
While this year the Halloween full moon will appear in all parts of the world, that doesn’t mean every citizen will have a point of view. Residents from both North America and South America, India, Europe and most of Asia will also see it. But when Western Austral Australians see it, it will not come to the central and eastern parts of the country.
Know the time zone well? “Each time zone has those except the former (GMT) +8 time zone, if they have daylight time or (GMT) +9, there is no daylight time.” Says Hunt.
Want to see Halloween full moon? It’s so bright on the whole stage that it doesn’t matter if you’re in a crowded city or on a farm. And you don’t need expensive equipment.
“Walk out, and take a look,” Hunt says.
Don’t be surprised if you take a Halloween moon shot with your phone and the photo doesn’t match what you see.
“The results can be disappointing when the moon is photographed with a smartphone,” Hunt admits. “A telephoto connection will help make the moon wider. Make sure the adapter fits on your Mac and model. Don’t even over-estimate the moon. Adjust the camera’s brightness so that features appear and it can’t work due to the moon’s brightness.”
If you are determined to get a good shot, 1 Oct Cut. The full moon brings, so it’s time to practice. Because it forms two full moons in the same month, Halloween full moon can also be referred to as the “blue moon”.
If you’re too busy watching horror movies (or whatever the same coronavirus of trick-or-treating you’re doing), you’ll have to wait until 2039 for another global full moon.
“Of course, in the intervening years the full moon occurs in October, not just on Halloween,” Hunt says. And before that Halloween full moon may appear in your area. It just won’t show up around the world.
