Tonight you can't miss the incredible spectacle of the Super Blue Moon.
It is called “super” because it is very close to the Earth, making it appear larger than usual. It is also called “blue” because it is the second full moon of the month, a rare enough event that is called “Blue Moon” in the Anglo-Saxon tradition.
This is a very special occasion: the last time such an event occurred was in January 2018, and the next will be in 2037. Furthermore, of the four supermoons predicted for 2023, this one will be the brightest, appearing about 7% larger than normal.
To best enjoy the show, which will take place in the constellation of Aquarius, astronomers recommend looking at the sky at sunset or sunrise.
At that time, the residual sunlight will make the Supermoon low on the horizon along with the surrounding landscape, creating an optical effect that will make it particularly large. During the night, however, the Supermoon will be high in the sky and will emit a very intense light.
