Bekijk de supermanen en micromanen voor 2026. Bekijk onze uitgebreide kalender om de exacte data van supermanen en micromanen voor elk jaar te vinden. Mis deze spectaculaire maangebeurtenissen nooit. Dankzij onze supermaankalender vind je de exacte data en tijden van alle super volle manen, super nieuwe manen, micro volle manen en micro nieuwe manen in 2026. De data en tijden zijn in UTC en je lokale tijd.
Een supermaan doet zich voor wanneer een volle maan of nieuwe maan samenvalt met de Maan dicht bij het perigeum — het punt in haar licht ovale baan waar ze het dichtst bij de aarde staat. Omdat ze iets dichterbij is dan normaal, kan een super volle maan tot ongeveer 7% groter en 15% helderder lijken dan een gemiddelde volle maan, en duidelijk groter dan een micromaan, die zich voordoet nabij het apogeum, het verste punt van de Maan.
Het verschil is echt maar subtiel. Naast elkaar verschillen een supermaan en een micromaan ongeveer de breedte van een kleine munt op armlengte. Het effect is het meest indrukwekkend wanneer de Maan laag aan de horizon staat, waar de bekende "maanillusie" haar enorm doet lijken achter bomen en gebouwen.
Supermanen zijn niet zeldzaam — er zijn meestal drie of vier super volle manen per jaar, vaak in opeenvolgende maanden. De tabel hierboven somt elke super- en micro- volle en nieuwe maan van het gekozen jaar op, met exacte data en aarde–maanafstanden in zowel UTC als jouw lokale tijd, zodat je de beste nachten kunt plannen om te kijken.
A supermoon occurs when the Moon's orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time the Moon is full. At such a time, the Moon can look larger and brighter than it normally does - especially when it is seen rising above the horizon. However, it's important to note that the actual difference in size and brightness between a supermoon and an average full moon is not typically dramatic, and may not be noticeable to the naked eye without a direct comparison.
Meer MaanfeitenThe Moon crust is made of composed primarily of oxygen (O), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), and aluminum (Al), but important minor and trace elements such as titanium (Ti), uranium (U), thorium (Th), potassium (K), and hydrogen (H) are present as well. Below the crust is the mantle coming, with a thickness of roughly 1350 km is far more extensive than the crust, which has an average thickness of about 50 km. The mantle is made of olivine, orthopyroxene and clino pyroxene. Finally, at the center is the Moon’s dense, metallic core. The core is largely composed of iron (Fe) and some nickel (Ni). The inner core is a solid mass of about 480 km in diameter. Surrounding the solid inner core is a fluid outer core, that brings the total diameter of the core to about 660 km.
Meer MaanfeitenAn orange moon means the shorter wavelengths of light are being filtered away. This could be due to the low position on the horizon causing the light to go through more atmosphere, smoke in the air, or pollution.
Meer MaanfeitenA "micromoon" is a term used in popular astronomy to describe a full moon or a new moon that occurs when the moon is at or near its apogee, which is the furthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit. This is the opposite of a "supermoon," which occurs when a full moon or new moon is at or near its perigee, which is the closest point to Earth in its orbit."
Meer MaanfeitenThis is an optical illusion. The Moon looks large shortly after it rises when it's still touching the horizon. This is not the same as a Supermoon.
Meer MaanfeitenNo, it doesn’t generate its own light. “Moonlight” is really sunlight that has reflected off of the Moon’s surface. In the same way that the Sun illuminates Earth, the Moon reflects the Sun's light, making it appear bright in our sky.
Meer MaanfasenIt depends on the time of day. The Moon is very hot in the daytime and very cold at night. The average temperature on the Moon varies from -298 degrees Fahrenheit (-183 degrees Celsius), at night, to 224 degrees Fahrenheit (106 degrees Celsius) during the day.
Meer MaanfasenNo, the moon has no water and has only a very thin and tenuous atmosphere (called an exosphere) so it cannot trap heat or insulate the surface. So, for example, there is no wind to create weather system. The Moon does, in fact, affect the Earth's climate and weather patterns in several subtle ways.

Meer MaanfasenHere are the top 5 things that make the Moon so unique.
1. The Moon is Earth's only permanent natural satellite.
2. Moon dust smells like gunpowder.
3. The Moon keeps the same face pointing toward the Earth.
4. The Moon has no – or just a really thin – atmosphere so there is no weather.
5. The Moon is visible in daylight nearly every day.
An analysis of moon's mineral composition suggests that the moon is around 4.425 billion years old.
