New Delhi:

The world will witness the next Supermoon on February 19, 2019, that is barely 30 days after the rare Super Blood Wolf Moon eclipse. This Supermoon will be the second in a series of three consecutive Supermoons this year. After February 19, the next Supermoon will appear on March 21, 2019. In India, the Supermoon will be visible at 6.30 pm (IST). The moon will look brighter and larger than usual as the moon will be closest orbital point to Earth.

A Moon is dubbed "Super" whenever it comes within 224,775 miles (361,740 km) to the Earth. When compared to the Full Moon at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth, the Moon can appear considerably larger and brighter. The Moon always reaches its perigee during its 29-day-long lunar cycle but this does not always fall on a Full Moon.

In the United Kingdom, the February Super Full Moon will creep over the horizon at 5.11 pm GMT and set the following day at 7.50 am GMT.

In New York, the Supermoon will rise at 5.46 pm EST and set the next day at 7.35 am EST.

On the West Coast in California, the Full Moon will rise at 6.02 pm PST and set at 7.29 am PST the next morning.
