Today, the moon is making its approach towards Earth, creating a captivating celestial event known as the blue moon. Moonlight enthusiasts will have the opportunity to witness the blue moon twice this month, with the first occurrence happening today and the second scheduled for August 30.
The phenomenon of the blue moon will be visible in numerous countries around the world, including Pakistan, as well as America, Great Britain, Africa, the Middle East, and various European countries.
For those residing on Earth, the blue moon will be seen at a distance of approximately 222,158 miles, making it appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than usual. This breathtaking sight will be visible shortly after sunset and will grace the night sky throughout the evening.
In addition to today’s event, the blue moon will make another appearance on August 30, while the last supermoon of this year is expected to be observed in September.
A supermoon, which appears larger and brighter than a full moon, is called a blue moon when it occurs twice in the same month. This striking celestial display will be seen again after 14 years, in 2037. Astronomy enthusiasts and stargazers are eagerly anticipating this rare and mesmerizing sight in the August sky.
