Mark your calendars, stargazers! 🌌 The second supermoon of 2024 will light up skies on September 18, aligning perfectly with China’s beloved Mid-Autumn Festival. Imagine family reunions, mooncakes, and lanterns glowing under a moon that’s 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual – basically nature’s own festival filter! 📸
Why the hype? A supermoon occurs when our lunar neighbor swings closest to Earth in its orbit. This year’s cosmic show peaks at 10:34 a.m. China time on September 18, but the moon will stay Instagram-ready all night on the 17th and 18th. Perfect timing for moon-viewing parties! 🎑
Astronomy experts call it a \"celestial gift\" to festival traditions, where families honor harvests and togetherness. Pro tip: Pair your mooncake tasting with this lunar spectacle for maximum vibes. 🥮 Who needs Netflix when the sky’s dropping a blockbuster?
