CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The first "Supermoon" of 2024 made a dazzling appearance in the early hours of August 20, with the full moon reaching its peak at 2:26 AM.
The "Supermoon" occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear approximately 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon.
Observing the "Supermoon" in Chongqing is a visual treat. The bright, serene moonlight bathes the Mountain City, illuminating its towering buildings, intricate traffic networks, and winding rivers that cut through the surrounding mountains. The calm glow of the moon enhances every vista.
