August 30, which we will celebrate as Victory Day in our country, will also host an important natural event this year. Citizens looking at the sky will see the Moon closer and larger than ever before. Moreover, the Moon will be in the form of a full moon. If you think this is commonplace, you are wrong. A similar natural event will occur in 2037 at the closest.
Fred Espenak, retired astrophysicist from NASA, created a calendar of all “Super Moon” events that will occur until 2100. The first of these will be observed on the evening of August 30. The Moon will be closer to Earth than ever before. The full moon appearance will make our natural satellite shine brighter than ever before. Due to these features, the natural event, called the “Blue Super Moon”, will provide space lovers with a unique experience.
Such an event will not occur until 2037.
We have readers who remember; On August 1, 2023, the super moon event took place, and unprecedented posts were made on social media. Here is the Blue Super Moon, which will take place on August 30, will be much more impressive than the event on August 1. The distance between the Earth and the Moon will be around 357 thousand 344 kilometers, according to the calculation made by Fred Espenak. Those who look at the sky will witness that the Moon is 16 percent brighter and 7 percent larger. According to NASA, such an event will not happen again until 2037.
Meanwhile; If you think the Moon will appear blue because we call it a “Blue Super Moon”, you’re wrong. Since there will be a second full moon in August, we will call it a Blue Super Moon. According to the calculation made by NASA, around 04:36 on August 31, the brightness and magnitude of the Moon will reach its maximum level. NASA says that space observers will be able to see Saturn and the Moon together on the same day.
