Get your cameras ready, San Antonio! The blue supermoon is coming our way, and it promises to be a spectacular sight for all stargazers. This unique event is set to occur from August 19 to August 22, and it’s a chance you won’t want to miss!
To make the most of this celestial treat, here’s a breakdown of the best times to watch:
For the best experience, find a location with a clear view of the sky away from city lights. Parks or open fields are great spots to set up and enjoy this breathtaking sight.
Wondering what makes this event so special? A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon being particularly close to Earth in its orbit. This results in a moon that can appear up to 30% brighter than average. The term “blue moon” doesn’t refer to its color; instead, it signifies the second full moon in a month—something that doesn’t happen too often.
This year features a series of supermoons, with the blue supermoon being just one of four. The next supermoon after this one will be even closer to Earth on September 17, followed by yet another in October—making it the closest of the year.
Whether or not you’re a regular skywatcher, witnessing a blue supermoon can be an exciting experience. It’s a perfect excuse to gather family and friends for an evening of fun under the stars. Additionally, with the return of lunar exploration like NASA’s Artemis program, there’s even more reason to take a moment to look up and appreciate our beautiful moon.
So mark your calendars! The blue supermoon is approaching, and it’s set to be an unforgettable show in the night sky over San Antonio. Get ready to enjoy this dazzling display that won’t come around again for years!
