7NEWS: How to watch the rare super blue moon in 2023
The super blue moon will be visible from Australia on August 31 for the last time until 2029,The term ‘super blue moon’ refers to a blue moon that occurs at the same time as a supermoon.But anyone hoping for a blue-hued moon will be disappointed.
The term “blue moon” refers to the rare occurrence when two full moons appear during the same month, not the moon’s colour.This usually happens once every two to three years, on average. Supermoons occur when the moon appears bigger in the sky, Michigan State University Abrams Planetarium director Dr Shannon Schmoll explained.
“As the moon goes around the Earth, it’s not a perfect circle. So, there are points in its orbit where it’s a little bit closer or a little bit farther from the Earth,” Schmoll told CNN.When the orb reaches its full moon phase at a point in its path where it is closer to the Earth, it appears to be slightly larger and a supermoon occurs, Schmoll explained.This month’s super blue moon will be visible from Australia on the night of August 31, 2023, clouds permitting.
