ALERT TODAY! SUPER BLUE MOON IS COMING (August 30 2023)

UNIQUENESS AND MAGIC OF THE SUPER BLUE MOON

August is almost over, but it still has a rare event to deliver to skywatchers in the form of a second full moon.
The full moon that rises on Wednesday, Aug. 30, will be a special one too, the unification of a supermoon and a Blue Moon, a "Super Blue Moon." The moon won't appear particularly blue at this time, however. The term "Blue Moon" has nothing to do with color, instead referring to either two moons occurring in the same calendar month (as in this case), or the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. A supermoon, meanwhile, refers to a full moon that occurs when the moon is closer to Earth in its orbit, resulting in a slightly larger and brighter appearance.
According to In the Sky, from New York City, August's second full moon will begin rising over the eastern horizon in the Aquarius constellation just after sunset tonight at around 7:10 p.m. EDT (2310 GMT). The Super Blue Moon will then set just before sunrise on Thursday, Aug. 31 at around 06:46 EDT (1046 GMT).The first Blue Moon in two years occurs on August 30 at 9:35 p.m. ET.
This Blue Moon is a culmination of the lunar cycle that began during the August 16 New Moon in Leo, making it a moment of introspection that could lead towards a spiritual awakening. The Blue Moon in Pisces is a Supermoon, so the Moon will be perigee (meaning that it’s closer than usual to the Earth, making its appearance bigger, brighter, and more defined).
A Blue Moon occurs when there are two Full Moons in a calendar month or within a 29.5 day period. The second of the two lunations is called a Blue Moon — even though it isn’t actually blue in color. The last Blue Moon happened on August 22, 2021 and the next one will occur on August 24, 2024. This rare lunar event apparantly represents enlightenment and fortitude.
