Sky gazers in Pakistan are in for a treat tomorrow, August 19, 2024, as a rare super blue moon is set to grace the night sky. This extraordinary lunar event occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon’s closest approach to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. The term “blue moon” refers to the fact that this is the third full moon in a season with four full moons, a relatively rare occurrence.
The super blue moon will rise at 11:25 p.m. in Islamabad and Lahore, offering a spectacular sight for those who venture outdoors to witness it. The moon will appear around 14% larger and 30% brighter than its average size, making it a breathtaking sight. This event is a rare opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone fascinated by the night sky to capture stunning images and enjoy the celestial wonder.
The super blue moon is also significant because it occurs when the moon is at its perigee, the point in its elliptical orbit when it is closest to Earth. This proximity amplifies the moon’s brightness and size, creating an unforgettable visual experience. Pakistanis are encouraged to step outside tomorrow night, gaze up at the sky, and marvel at the beauty of this rare super blue moon.
