JANGKARA.com – On August 30, we will be presented with an amazing phenomenon called the Super Blue Moon. This phenomenon will make the full moon appear larger and brighter than usual.
Blue Moon is the term used to describe the third full moon in a season of four full moons.
However, this term can also be used when there are two full moons in a calendar month. This time the Blue Moon will appear on the night of August 30, around 21:35 Eastern Daylight Time in the United States.

At the same time as the Blue Moon, the Moon will experience a “supermoon,” meaning the Moon will appear larger and brighter because it is so close to Earth.
Collected by Jangkara.com from the Space.com page, the term “supermoon” is used when the full moon occurs at the same time as perigee, which is the closest point of the Moon to the Earth in its orbit. This makes the Moon appear larger and brighter than usual.
This time, the distance between the Moon and Earth will be about 221,942 miles (357,181 kilometers), slightly closer than usual, which averages about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers).
In addition, on the same date, the Moon will also be seen close to the planet Saturn. In New York City, for example, the Moon will appear at around 7:44 p.m. and disappear the next day at 6:47 a.m.

Saturn will appear above and slightly to the right of the Moon as it appears. The closest approach between the Moon and Saturn will occur around 2:07 p.m. Eastern time.
For those in central Europe, such as Warsaw, the moment when the Moon and Saturn are in conjunction will be obvious.
The name of the Blue Moon can vary depending on local culture and traditions. In North America, the August full moon is often called the “Sturgeon moon”, referring to the time when sturgeon fish are abundant. However, across regions and cultures, Blue Moon names can vary.
For those of you who want to witness this phenomenon or other celestial events, having a telescope or binoculars can be very helpful.
