What’s so great about the supermoon? Well, the distance between the moon and the earth is the smallest then, which makes the moon appear larger than normal. With the emphasis on ‘seems’, because it is actually an optical illusion.

Super moon in The Hague

On August 1, the distance between the moon and The Hague is 64.64 kilometers, according to the website Science in the Picture. In the case of this supermoon, the celestial body appears 7 percent larger and the light is 07 percent brighter than a normal moon. However, the difference is almost invisible to the naked eye. But with a photo camera it will be a different story!

Take pictures

Do you want to take beautiful pictures of the supermoon above The Hague? Then you have to be ready with a good camera (and possibly a tripod) around 23., because then the moon will appear in the east. The moon moves low above the horizon toward the south. She disappears again just before sunrise at 4..

Tip: find a high point to take the photos, so that the skyline of The Hague can be clearly seen against the light of the moon.
