Supermoon Blue Moon 2024: Check Date, Time and Place To Get Best View

Supermoon Blue Moon 2024: A rare astronomical event will occur on August 19, 2024. A Supermoon and a Blue Moon will appear together in the night sky. This combination, called a "Sturgeon Moon," happens only once every few decades. It is the first of four consecutive supermoons this year, with the next ones occurring in September, October, and November.

A Supermoon occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth, making it look bigger and brighter. 

On this day, the Supermoon Blue Moon will shine about 30 percent brighter than usual. 

Time To Watch Blue Moon 2024: 

Blue Moon will reach its zenith at 2:26pm ET on August 19. Those located in the United States may not get a glimpse of it at this time. This is because our lone satellite will be on the other side of our home planet, Earth.

For spectators on the East Coast, the supermoon will arise in the east-southeastern skies. It will ascend about one-third of the way across the sky before taking a bow at approximately 7:00 a.m. in the west-southwest.
