The first Super Moon of the year will be observed on August 19.

Axar.az reports that the Shamakhi Astrophysics Observatory named after N. Tusi has released information about this.

It has been noted that this supermoon is a Blue supermoon. The appearance of the moon in a blue shade can very rarely occur due to the dust created during a volcanic eruption.

During this event, called a Super Moon, the Moon appears 14% larger and 30% brighter. On August 19, the Moon will rise at 19:41 and be visible until morning, when the distance between the Earth and the Moon will be 361,969 km.

It should be noted that by the end of the year, 3 more Super Moons will be observed on September 18, October 17 and November 15.
