365Telugu.com online news, August 18th 2024: On August 19, 2024, a spectacular celestial event known as the Super Blue Moon will be visible. This rare phenomenon combines two features: a “blue moon,” which is the second full moon in a calendar month, and a “supermoon,” when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter than usual.
Supermoon Effect: A supermoon can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than an average full moon due to its closer proximity to Earth in its elliptical orbit. Blue Moon: The term “blue moon” refers to the occurrence of a second full moon within the same calendar month, a relatively uncommon event.
Visibility: The Super Blue Moon will be visible across various regions, including India, and is best observed in clear skies away from city lights. Upcoming Supermoons: After this event, additional supermoons are expected on September 17, October 17, and November 15, 2024. Significance: This event presents a unique opportunity for stargazers, photographers, and astronomy enthusiasts to witness a remarkable natural display.
