The supermoon will be lighting up our skies for the last time in 2022 this evening. Here’s everything you need to know.
For anyone unfamiliar, supermoons are categorised as lunar events when the moon is at 360,000km or less away from Earth in its orbital path. While you may not have even been aware, we have actually just experienced three full supermoons in a row: the June full moon , the July full moon and the buck moon., a supermoon appears around 7% larger and 15% brighter than a standard full moon.
As seen from London, the sun will begin to set at 8.30pm with the sturgeon supermoon beginning to rise at 8.55pm in the southeast on Thursday 11 August. While you will be able to catch a glimpse of its glow at other times, the supermoon will officially reach its peak at 2:36am on the morning of 12 August. However, it will still be visible into the early hours of Friday morning in the UK and throughout the weekend.Aside from its beauty, the full moon can actually affect our bodies too.
“Emotions run high during the full moon. It’s possible that you’ll experience stress and become a little more irritable than usual. You may find yourself lying awake at night or not sleeping as deeply as usual because the full moon also heralds a few sleep modifications,” explains Eoin Keenan, wellbeing expert and co-founder ofTo help mitigate any impact on your sleep cycle, Keenan suggests cutting back on screen time and reducing the amount of light you’re exposed to during the supermoon.
