When can super blue moon be seen in Pakistan?

The first super blue moon of the year will be seen in Pakistan at 11:26 PM tonight (Monday).

Pakistan’s space research agency SUPARCO has announced that the next three super moons will be seen on September 18, October 17 and November 15.
Today is the first super blue moon of the year, which will make the moon appear bigger and brighter.

A blue moon does not mean that the moon will turn blue. The name is rooted in an incident that happened centuries ago. A volcanic eruption in the 19th century caused a change in the colour of the sky, causing the full moon to appear blue, known as the Blue Moon.

Types of Blue moon

There are 2 types of blue moon, one is seasonal blue moon and the other is monthly blue moon.

A seasonal blue moon is the third of four full moons in a season, and a similar blue moon will appear on the horizon on August 19 in Pakistan.

The occurrence of the second full moon in a month of the Gregorian calendar is called the Monthly Blue Moon.

The moon that will rise in the sky on August 19 will be at a distance of 226,000 miles from the Earth, which will appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than usual.

This month’s seasonal super blue moon is also special because it will take until 2037 to see one after that, but the seasonal blue moon will happen much sooner.

It should be noted that the supermoon will be in the sky for four consecutive months in 2024: August, September, October, and November.
