The cosmos is offering up a double feature in August: a pair of supermoons culminating in a rare blue moon. You can catch the first showing Tuesday evening:
A commercial airliner flies Northwest across Lake Michigan in front of the"Full Buck" supermoon, the first of four supermoons in 2023, on July 3, 2023, in Chicago.
Catch the first show Tuesday evening as the full moon rises in the southeast, appearing slightly brighter and bigger than normal. That’s because it will be closer than usual, just 222,159 miles away, thus the supermoon label. “Warm summer nights are the ideal time to watch the full moon rise in the eastern sky within minutes of sunset. And it happens twice in August,” said retired NASA astrophysicist Fred Espenak, dubbed Mr. Eclipse for his eclipse-chasing expertise.
“My plans are to capture the beauty of this ... hopefully bringing the emotion of the show to our viewers,” Masi said in an email.“The supermoon offers us a great opportunity to look up and discover the sky,” he added.
