A supermoon, larger and brighter, illuminated the sky around the world on Tuesday. It was also a blue moon, a rare phenomenon occurring three or four times a year.
The next supermoon will coincide with a partial lunar eclipse on September 18, followed by October 17, which will be the closest of the year, and November 15. This supermoon was visible in many cities, including Istanbul, Copenhagen, Allaman, Berlin, Madrid, Paris, Antwerp, and Nicosia, and could be observed until Wednesday morning.
According to NASA, the rare super blue moon occurs about every 10-20 years, and the next seasonal blue supermoon will be on October 31, 2023. August's supermoon is the first of four lunar spectacles in 2024, with September's featuring a partial lunar eclipse and October's being the year's closest approach.
The series will conclude with November's supermoon. Supermoons occur when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth, making it appear slightly larger.
The term 'supermoon' is more popular than scientific, and these events typically happen only three or four times a year.
