14 November, the Moon will be at closest distance from Earth since the middle of last century, whereby it is full the disk will look much larger than usual. It is worth noting that the official scientific term “supermoon” does not exist, but this phenomenon has always attracted the attention of Amateur astronomers. The first supermoon this year could be observed on 16 October and another will happen on 14 December, but the “record” for more than a century it will be soon. Owners of binoculars and telescopes will be able to see traditionally called “lunar seas,” craters and plains on the moon’s surface.
Expected in the night of 11 November, the meteor shower happens when the Earth’s atmosphere at high speed will include particles of a meteor shower with a radiant in the constellation Taurus. It is expected that the night sky you will see 10-15 shooting stars per hour. In temperate Northern latitudes, observers should direct the attention to the southern part of sky. 16 Nov will fly by the Earth another meteor shower — the Leonids, with a radiant in the constellation Leo. The second meteor shower is expected to be more intense first and is particularly noticeable in the not-too bright places — for example, outside the city.
Also on 15 November, the Moon will cover the star Aldebaran, thus becoming the “eye” in the constellation Taurus. Best of all, this phenomenon will be able to see the people of the Middle East and Central Asia. 5 Nov lovers look at the sky you will be able to see in close proximity to each other the moon and Mars, November 23 — mercury and Saturn,and on November 25 — the moon and Jupiter.
