Perigee

Supermoon occurs when the Moon's orbit is closest (known as perigee) to Earth at the same time the Moon is full.

ISRO on Tuesday successfully performed the fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre (Earth-bound perigee firing) of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft from the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) here.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) today successfully performed the fourth orbit-raising manoeuvre (Earth-bound perigee firing) of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft from the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) here.

ISRO on Tuesday stated that it had successfully performed the third orbit-raising manoeuvre for the recently launched Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, ahead of the expected landing on August 23. The Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon was launched on July 14 and the fourth Earth-bound perigee firing is scheduled to take place on July 20, according to the sp...

A full moon during perigee will appear 14 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter than a full moon during apogee.

ISRO, or the Indian Space Research Organisation has announced that it carried out a controlled re-entry experiment of its aged Megha-Tropiques-1 (MT-1) satellite successfully. The final impact region estimated for the MT-1 satellite is in the deep Pacific Ocean, within the expected latitude and longitude boundaries, according to ISRO.

The "Buck" supermoon will be visible on July 13, after the moon is at its closest to the Earth for the year 2022 at 2:30pm IST on Wednesday. The moon will approach a perigee distance of 357,264 kilometres away from Earth. With July 13 also being the date of a full moon, people across the planet will be able to see the biggest supermoon of the year ...

Moon lander Vikram is scheduled for a powered-descent between 1am and 2am on September 7.

It's Supermoon Sunday. The full moon is at perigee, the point in its orbit when it's closest to the earth. The only visible Supermoon of 2017 will be observable to the entire world.

For the first time in decades, sky-watchers around the world are witnessing a double spectacle today of a swollen 'supermoon' bathed in the blood-red light of a total eclipse. The total 'supermoon' lunar eclipse, also known as a 'blood moon' is one that appears bigger and brighter than usual as it reaches the point in its orbit that is closest to E...

A 'super moon' greeted sky aficionados today as it appeared biggest and brightest for the year.

Get ready for the moon's most prominent and spectacular appearance of the year on May 6, as it will shine at its brightest and look the biggest.
