Pakistan will experience a rare celestial event tonight with the appearance of a Super Blue Moon at 11:26 PM, the first of its kind in 2024. During this event, the moon will look 14% larger and brighter than usual because it will be closer to Earth, approximately 226,000 miles away.This particular moon, known as a Seasonal Blue Moon, is a rare occurrence that won’t happen again until 2037.
Despite the name, the term “Blue Moon” doesn’t mean the moon will turn blue. Instead, it refers to an unusual lunar event that happens when the moon’s full or new phase aligns closely with its orbit around Earth.NASA explains that a Super Blue Moon occurs when the moon’s orbit brings it nearer to Earth at the same time as a full moon, making it appear bigger and brighter in the night sky.
This makes the Super Blue Moon a special sight for skywatchers, offering a unique opportunity to witness a rare lunar event that won’t happen again for many years.For those interested in astronomy or simply enjoying the wonders of the night sky, tonight’s Super Blue Moon is a must-see event, providing a stunning view that will be remembered for years to come.
