Super Blue Moon August, 31 2023 (Morning)

The Last Super Blue Moon until 2037 Rises Tonight.

Supermoons happen because the moon's orbit around Earth is an oval or an elliptical shape rather than perfectly circular. As a result, there are times during the moon's orbit when it is further away  —  at apogee  —  and times when it is closer  —  at perigee. The distance between Earth and the moon at perigee increases by around 14% compared to its distance at apogee, changing from around 253,000 miles (408,000 kilometers) to around 220,000 miles (350,000 kilometers) away.

This 14% increase in proximity may sound substantial, but it doesn't make much difference to how the moon appears to the untrained eye, though it is technically larger and brighter in the night sky.

Super Blue Moon coincidences are rare, with NASA saying that they occur on average once every decade. Despite this, a Super Blue Moon could happen twice within the same month, or there could be as long as two decades between one Super Blue Moon and the next.
