After the Supermoon, the Blue Moon Phenomenon: Okezone techno will also appear at the end of August

JAKARTA – The Blue Moon phenomenon will appear at the end of August. The Blue Moon is the closest, largest, and brightest Full Moon of the year.

The Blue Moon will culminate on Wednesday 30 August 2023 at 21:36. As a result of this phenomenon, the distance between the Moon and the Earth is very close i.e. only (222,043 miles), as compiled by Alamanac, on Tuesday (8/8/2023).

FYI, Blue Moon refers to the second full moon occurring in the same calendar month, which usually occurs every few years. The latest blue moon, for example, occurred in October 2020.

Even if the name is Blue Moon or Blue Moon, it certainly won’t look blue at all. The term actually comes from a 16th century expression, where Blue Moon refers to something that never or rarely happens.

The blue blue moon only occurs under certain atmospheric conditions. For example, after the massive volcanic eruption of Krakatau in 1884, the Blue Moon turned blue.

This occurs because a very large cloud of ash and dust has been injected into the stratosphere (5 to 30 miles above the Earth’s surface), this aerosol cloud causes the Moon and Sun to appear blue from many locations in the Northern Hemisphere.

The historical origins of the term Blue Moon also fall under two different definitions. The first is the seasonal Blue Moon, which is the third full moon of one of the astronomical seasons in which there are four full moons.

Seasonal Blue Moons occur slightly less frequently than monthly Blue Moons, in the 1100 years between 1550 and 2650, there were 408 Seasonal Blue Moons and 456 Monthly Blue Moons.

The second is the monthly Blue Moon, which is the second Full Moon of one of the months in the Gregorian calendar in which there are two Full Moons. A monthly blue moon can occur if the full moon occurs around the start of the Christian month.

This is because the average settlement is 29.53 days shorter than 11 months in the Christian calendar. However, both seasonal and monthly blue moons occur approximately every two to three years.
