The supermoon (supermoon) is a natural phenomenon that occurs at the moment of the closest approach of the planet Earth to the satellite Moon. This causes the moon’s disk to appear larger to an observer on Earth.
Moon illusion is a phenomenon that occurs when observing the Moon near the horizon. Due to the elliptical shape of the satellite, it appears to increase in size.
Supermoon and moon illusion are two completely different phenomena.
Pink Supermoon – A Natural Phenomenon
The pink hue (sometimes bright or dark red) of the Moon is caused by clouds. The refraction of sunlight passing through a dense layer of atmosphere creates an unnatural hue to the eye. Essentially, this is an effect (filter) that is visible to the viewer in different locations.
The natural phenomenon of the “pink supermoon” is completely harmless to people. It is a simple visual effect that does not emit radiation or harm living organisms. However, the Supermoon, due to its proximity to Earth, can influence the functioning of processes on the planet. In particular, this influence affects tides and water levels on Earth. But that is a different story.
