Stargazers who missed the supermoon on July 12, will have another chance to see the bright lunar phenomenon from all around the world on Sunday.
The full moons of this summer, which fall on July 12, August 10 and September 9, are all supermoons, according to NASA.
Supermoons, also known as a perigee moon, the event occurs when a full moon lines up with the earth and the sun at a specific point in its orbit, called the lunar perigee. That is the point at which the moon is nearest to Earth as it traces its elliptical path around our planet.
The supermoon of August is one of the largest and brightest full moons of the year. The US Naval Observatory says the moon will be 12% bigger and 30% brighter than it was in January 2014, the Huffington Post reports.
In Bangladesh, the moon will turn full on Sunday at 6.30pm. The moon will continue to look bright and full into Sunday evening, up till early morning of Monday.
