The Super Full Moon phenomenon, also known as the Supermoon, will occur twice in August 2023. One of the closest on August 1 is the Sturgeon Moon phenomenon or the Sturgeon Moon.
Then the second Supermoon phenomenon will occur Blue Moon or Blue Moon at the end of August 2023. To find out more about the two Supermoon phenomena in August 2023, see the complete information below:
Reported by the site Almanac, in August 2023 there will be two Full Moons. The first is the Full Sturgeon Moon, which peaks on Tuesday, August 1, 2023. Then the second Supermoon, the Blue Moon will appear on August 30, 2023.
The term Blue Moon is most often used when there are two Supermoon phenomena in one month, such as in August this year. This year’s supermoon is very special because all four events occur sequentially.
The first Supermoon phenomenon this year took place on July 3. Then two Supermoon phenomena will occur this August. And the last Supermoon phenomenon of this series will occur on September 29.
What is the Supermoon Phenomenon?
Quoted from the site Space, the Supermoon phenomenon is a Full Moon phenomenon that occurs when the Moon is closer to Earth. Therefore, when a Supermoon occurs, the Moon will appear larger and brighter than usual.
The phenomenon of a Supermoon or Super Full Moon can cause a 30% brightness of the moon and a 14% increase in the lunar disk as seen from Earth. But these differences are usually invisible to the naked eye, unless one is paying close attention to the Moon each night.
Causes of the Supermoon Phenomenon
The cause of the Supermoon phenomenon is because the Moon’s orbit around the Earth does not form a perfect circle, as a result of the Earth’s gravitational influence. The Moon’s orbit around Earth is elliptical, looking like an elongated circle or oval.
This means that there are times in the Moon’s 27-day orbit that it is closer to Earth and farther at other times. The supermoon phenomenon occurs when the Moon is in the Full Moon phase of its 29.5 day lunar cycle and is at Perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit.
The Supermoon phenomenon in 2023 will occur four times. According to the site Space, the first Supermoon phenomenon this year occurred on Monday, July 3, 2023. Furthermore, the Supermoon phenomenon will occur twice in August and finally in September 2023.
