He Sunday May 4 The moon will be in growing roomwhich means that he is in a room of his monthly tour and will light only half of his illuminated face.
During this period, the moon goes around noon and puts itself near midnight, according to NASA. It is at the top of the sky at night and offers an excellent view.
For him Monday, May 12there will be full moonwhich means that the star will be opposed to the sun in its orbit around the earth and its visible face will be fully illuminated.
In many cultures the full moon is used to mark the passage of time.
At the beginning of this week, the Moon will be at 37216 kilometers from the earth, for the end of the week the distance will change to 402309 kilometers, this is because its orbit is not a perfect circle.
In all parts of the world you can see the same phases of the moon, the only thing that changes is the angle between people living in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.
If you travel to the other hemisphere you live, the moon would be in the same phase, but it would appear upside down compared to what you are used to, according to NASA.
For example, if the moon is in the waning room, from the northern hemisphere, the crescent will appear on the left side, while from the southern hemisphere, it will appear on the right.
It is worth mentioning that the time it takes for the moon to turn once on its axis is the same as it takes to orbit once around the earth, that is why we always see the same face of the moon.
The moon takes approximately one month to orbit the earth, 27.3 days to complete a revolution and 29.5 days to change from new moon to new moon.
