# Pink Supermoon going to appear in India on April 8

While everyone in India right now is in lockdown till April 14, In between an interesting celestial event is going to happen from April 7 to April 8. Back on March 5 this year, NASA published an [article](https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/1189/the-next-full-moon-is-a-supermoon-crow-moon/) confirming a **Supermoon** going to appear this year from **April 7 moonrise to April 8 morning**.

Well, those of you who don’t know What Supermoon is? Well, it is a celestial event that occurs who Moon comes closest to the Earth. As we know, the Moon revolves around Earth in an elliptical orbit. An elliptical orbit on the other hand has a farthest and closest point. The farthest point is called **Apogee** whereas the closed point is called **Perigee**.

On the same elliptical orbit, the Apogee is 405,500 Kilometres from earth whereas Perigee is around 363,300 Kilometres from the earth. Supermoon is the celestial event that occurs when it reaches Perigee.

Scientists says Supermoons are 7% percent bigger and 15% brighter than the regular Moon.
