August’s Full Sturgeon Moon rises tonight, 1st of 2 supermoons this month. The full moon on Aug. 1 is the second of four supermoons in the summer of 2023, with the next, the Full Blue Moon, falling on Aug. 30.
Supermoons occur when the moon is near or at its closest point to Earth (or, in scientific terms, its perigee) while also appearing full.
Some argue that the term supermoon is overused because it can refer to full moons that don’t occur at the absolute nearest point to Earth — and they don’t always appear drastically different to the human eye than the average full moon.
Blue moons, however, are rarer. While the term originally referred to an extra full moon occurring within the same tropical year — the period between two equinoxes— it now commonly refers to two full moons appearing within the same calendar month.
The next two super moons occurring in the same month won’t happy till 2037
Past: On April 23rd, 2023 there was one of the rarest eclipses known to us called a solar hybrid eclipse. This is the type of eclipse that in some parts of the globe will partially and even fully block out our visibility from earth to the sun.
This occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun obscuring the view it usually only lasts a few hours but gives every region only minutes of visibility or non but still enough time to experience a night in a day.
A total eclipse will occur in parts of Europe & Asia while most of us will see a partial eclipse from about 7:57 am lasting until roughly 12:45 pm. Here are some of the best places on this side of the equator.
- Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico. …
- Nazas, Durango, Mexico. …
- Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. …
- Radar Base, Texas. …
- Kerrville, Texas. …
- Lampasas, Texas. …
- Hillsboro, Texas. …
- Sulphur Springs, Texas.
In the upcoming 2023 we will have a total of 4 eclipses 2 solar and 2 lunar.
April 23 solar
May 5-6 lunar
October 14 solar
October 28-29 lunar
This upcoming April will be a total solar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, Earth’s shadow obscures the Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun from view.
Of course there are superstitions surrounding lunar eclipses regarding eating, sleeping and sex but medically it’s said the only safe way to look directly at the sun is through special-purpose solar filters and no medical based facts surrounding anything else. We at HigherVibes Online suggest that you do your research and follow your instincts but be sure not to miss it!
