Super Blue Moon of 2023: Time and Visibility
When to See the Last Super Blue Moon Until 2037
August 30, 2023
The highly anticipated Super Blue Moon is set to grace the night sky on August 30, 2023. Mark your calendars to witness this celestial event, as it won't be seen again until 2037.
According to NASA, a Super Blue Moon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon being at its closest point to Earth in its orbit. This combination makes the moon appear larger and brighter than usual. Additionally, the "Blue" part of the name refers to the fact that this is the second full moon in a single calendar month.
Timing and Visibility
The Super Blue Moon will reach its peak fullness at 9:36 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on August 30th. The moon will then set just before sunrise the following morning, August 31st, at approximately 6:46 a.m. EDT.
The Super Blue Moon will be visible to observers in all parts of the world. However, the best viewing conditions will be in areas with clear skies and minimal light pollution.
To enhance your viewing experience, find an open field or park where you can have a clear view of the horizon. Bring a blanket or chairs to sit on, as the moon will be visible for several hours.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness the last Super Blue Moon until 2037. Mark your calendars for August 30th and prepare for an unforgettable celestial spectacle.
