The Moon “drifts” away from Earth a rare apogee expected Thursday

Notable Astronomical Phenomenon: The Moon's Farthest Apogee

The Earth will experience a notable astronomical phenomenon on November 20: the Moon will reach its farthest apogee in several years. According to data from the Timeanddate astronomical observatory, the distance between the Earth and the Moon will reach 406,691 kilometers, making it the farthest lunar apogee until December 2043.

Key Details of the Event

  • The event will occur at 02:46 GMT
  • The Moon will be in its new moon phase, making it totally invisible from Earth due to its alignment with the Sun

Effects of the Phenomenon

Although this phenomenon will not be observable with the naked eye, it could lead to a slight weakening of the amplitude of the tides, a usual effect when the Moon is at apogee. However, astronomers specify that the impact will be minimal and without significant consequences.
