The first super blue moon of the year will be seen in Pakistan at 11:26 PM tonight.
According to Sparco, Pakistan’s space research agency, the next three super moons will be seen on September 18, October 17 and November 15, while this is the first super blue moon of the year, which will make the moon appear bigger, brighter and brighter.
When and why was the term blue moon used?
Blue moon does not mean that the color of the moon will turn blue, but the name is a term, the reason for using the term blue moon is also quite interesting. A volcanic eruption in the 19th century caused a strange change in the color of the sky, causing the full moon to appear blue, known as the Blue Moon.
There are 2 types of blue moon, one is seasonal blue moon and the other is monthly blue moon. A seasonal blue moon is the third of 4 full moons in a season, and a similar blue moon will appear on the horizon on August 19.
The second visible fourteenth moon in an English month is called the Monthly Blue Moon.
The moon that will rise in the sky on August 19 will be at a distance of 226,000 miles from the earth, which will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual.
This month’s seasonal super blue moon is also special because it will take until 2037 to see one after that, but the seasonal blue moon will happen much sooner.
It should be noted that the supermoon will shine in the sky for 4 consecutive months in August, September, October and November 2024.
