#BlueMicromoon #NotActuallyBlue #Australia
🌕🌝
"A rare blue micromoon will rise above Australia on Sunday night, combining two unusual lunar phenomena in a single event. Despite its name, the moon won’t actually appear blue, nor will it look dramatically smaller than normal. Instead, the event brings together two relatively uncommon lunar occurrences that don’t often coincide, making it a noteworthy sight for skywatchers. Here’s everything you need to know."
"What is a blue micromoon?"
"A calendar blue moon occurs when a single month features two full moons — this Sunday marks the second one for May. The ‘micro’ label refers to distance. Because the moon travels on an oval path rather than a perfect circle, it has points where it drifts furthest from Earth, known as an apogee. When a full moon hits this far point, sitting roughly 406,000 kilometres away, it is technically a micromoon."
