Ufa residents are invited to watch Supermoon
Ufa City Planetarium invites everyone to join the observations of the bright Blue Supermoon on the last summer day, August 31.
“The full moon on August 31 will not be quite ordinary. This will be the brightest full moon of the year, with Earth's satellite looking brighter and slightly larger than usual as the Moon comes especially close to our planet. During a super full moon, the moon looks about 14% larger and 30% brighter than when the full moon coincides with the apogee when the moon is at its maximum distance from the Earth,” the experts explain.
The expression "Blue Moon" has nothing to do with the moon's color. On this day, its color will not differ from the usual one. The Blue Moon is the second full moon in a month (once every two or three years) or the third of four full moons in the astronomical season.
Telescope observations of the Moon will occur on the site in front of the planetarium free of charge and in clear weather.
