The first Super Moon of 2024 will be observed on August 19 at 22:26.
About this Publika.azwas informed by Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory named after Nasireddin Tusi.
It has been reported that this Super Moon is a Blue Super Moon. The appearance of the moon in a blue shade can very rarely occur due to the dust created during a volcanic eruption. Currently, it is used in popular science to symbolically express the seasonal and monthly Super Moon based on the folklore of various peoples.
A seasonal Super Blue Moon occurs more rarely, the 3rd of 4 supermoons in a season is called a Blue Moon. The monthly Blue Moon is the second waning Moon in a calendar month. The Super Moon phase to be observed this time is a blue Moon.
Since the Moon’s orbit is elliptical rather than a complete circle, the distance between the Earth and the Moon is constantly changing. A Super Moon is observed if the Moon at its perigee coincides with the phase of the waxing Moon.
During this event, called a Super Moon, the Moon appears 14% larger and 30% brighter. On August 19, the Moon will rise at 19:41 and be visible until morning, when the distance between the Earth and the Moon will be 361,969 km.
It should be noted that by the end of the year, 3 more Super Moons will be observed on September 18, October 17 and November 15.
