Get ready to witness a stunning celestial event! On August 19, a rare super blue moon will grace the night sky, shining brightly for the next three days. This event is special because it's not just any full moon—it's a supermoon, which appears up to 30% brighter and 14% larger than a regular full moon.

A super blue moon occurs when a full moon is within 90% of its closest distance to Earth. Although it's called a "blue moon," the moon won't actually appear blue. Instead, it will glow with a brilliant light, especially as it reaches its peak, around 225,288 miles away from Earth.

This super blue moon also coincides with Raksha Bandhan, adding a special touch to the festival. No special equipment is needed to enjoy this sight—just look up, and you can capture it with your smartphone or camera.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to see one of nature's most beautiful displays!


Happy Questing
