Explanation: There are four Full Supermoons in 2022. Using the definition of a supermoon as a Full Moon near perigee, that is within at least 90% of its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit, the year’s Full Supermoon dates are May 16, June 14, July 13, and August 12. Full Moons near perigee really are the brightest and largest in planet Earth’s sky. But size and brightness differences between Full Moons are relatively small and an actual comparison with other Full Moons is difficult to make by eye alone. Two exposures are blended in this supermoon and sky view from June 14. That Full Moon was also known to northern hemisphere skygazers as the Strawberry moon. The consecutive short and long exposures allow familiar features on the fully sunlit lunar nearside to be seen in the same image as a faint lunar corona and an atmospheric cloudscape. They were captured in skies over Chongqing, China.

说明: 2022年有4个超级满月。超级满月定义为出现在近地点附近的满月，而在绕地球的轨道上，是指与地球的距离超出最小距离不到10%的满月；今年的超级满月分别出现在5月16日、6月14日，7月13日和8月12日。近地点附近的满月，的确是地球天空中最亮和最大的月轮。不过，满月之间的大小与亮度差异不大，仅凭肉眼难以分辨和比较。这幅呈现超级月亮与天空的主题影像，融合了2张摄于6月14日的照片。而对北半球的观星者来说，这轮满月亦称为莓月。用短曝光和长曝光照片组合出的这幅影像，让我们得以同时见到月球正面受阳光照耀的熟悉月面特征，以及昏暗的月冕和周围的云层结构。这些照片记录了出现在中国重庆天空的景观。
