Spectral Models of Bigmoon: Experimental Results

Spectral models of the moon are important for the lunar space studies and applications. This preliminary research and experimental work examines spectral studies of the lunar eclipse images during Super moon and studying the variation of spectrum in space domain and attempt to derive a spectral model of the eclipsed moon. The preliminary experimental investigation reveals that spectral properties of the moon are characterized and helps in deriving a spectral model of the moon during eclipse and compare it with the normal moon. From our spectral analysis and studies of lunar images during Bigmoon helps in deriving a spectral model of the moon using power spectral density (PSD) and FFT techniques. The preliminary studies during eclipse helped to derive moon spectral model in terms of power spectra. From the magnitude spectrum studies for is may be observed that, for the normal moon is about 110 Hz/dB whereas 170 Hz/dB for the blood moon and we can conclude that the big moon appears about 28% brighter than the normal moon.
