JawaPos.com – Supermoon is a phenomenon when the full moon is closest to the earth in its orbit. This phenomenon will occur twice at the beginning and end of August 2023.
Supermoon is often a moment that attracts the attention of many people around the world. The larger and brighter moon makes for a spectacular view of the night sky.
quoted JawaPos.com from the page Sea and Sky on Monday (30/7), the Supermoon phenomenon will occur twice, namely on August 1 and August 31 2023. However, on August 31 there are three possible phenomena that occur between the full moon, Supermoon or Blue Moon.
This supermoon that occurs in August is also known as the Sturgeon Moon which comes from the sturgeon family which is so prolific in North America, and is found in the Great Lakes.
In addition, this phenomenon is also known as the Green Corn Moon and Grain Moon which will be the second of four supermoons in 2023. The moon will be closest to Earth and may look slightly larger and brighter than usual.
The Supermoon phenomenon usually occurs several times a year, depending on the lunar orbital cycle. However, not every full moon will become a supermoon, because the position of the moon must be exactly at perigea.
When the moon is at perigea, which is its closest point to Earth, the moon looks bigger and brighter than usual. This is due to an optical illusion that makes the moon appear larger when it is near the horizon or among background objects.
