PMJ NEWS – The biggest and brightest full moon of 2023 is set to appear on August 30, which is called the “blue supermoon”. This phenomenon is the result of three lunar phenomena occurring simultaneously.
The supermoon’s name “blue” has nothing to do with the color of the moon. In fact, the color is actually orange.
Launching the LiveScience page, there are two types of blue moons. August’s blue supermoon falls into the first category: two full moons that occur in the same month.
A new full moon rises every 29.5 days. This is because the Sturgeon Moon occurs on August 1, 2023, so the full moon on August 30 will be a blue moon.
Meanwhile, this type of blue moon, called a “calendar blue moon”, occurs approximately once every two or three years, and the following month occurs on May 31, 2026, according to time and date.
Then a second type of blue moon, called a “seasonal blue moon”, describes the third of four full moons during an astronomical season.
This occurs when a calendar year has 13 full moons instead of the usual 12 full moons.
As information, one lunar year — 12 orbits of the Earth by the moon takes 354 days, while the Earth’s solar year is 365 days.
The next seasonal blue moon, which also occurs every two or three years, will occur on August 19, 2024, according to the time and date.
