This Moon Sky Phenomenon: From Supermoon to Lyrids Meteor Rain
During April 2020, the National Institute of Aviation and Space (Lapan) had predicted three sky phenomena that could be seen from the skies of Indonesia
When contacted by Kompas.com, the Head of Dissemination of the Space Science Center (Pussainsa) Dr. Emanuel Sugging Mumpuni said, the three celestial phenomena are Supermoon, New Moon, and Lyrids Meteor Rain.
There is no specific area to see this celestial phenomenon.
But Emanuel admitted, how the three celestial phenomena that emerged later remained influenced by the weather conditions.
Maybe, when the sky is clear we can see the phenomenon nicely. But if it's raining or lots of light pollution, the three celestial phenomena can be completely invisible.
