While the moon reaches its perigee once every 27 days, it rarely occurs during a full moon, which is why a supermoon is so unusual. When it’s nearest, the Moon naturally looks bigger.

The moon will be called Supermoon or the Blood Moon and the occurrence will be visible at 2am, when the moon will be closer to the earth than normal. But it’s different when the Moon is closest at the same time as it’s full because its proximity makes the illuminated Moon even more brilliant. “The last two times there were four blood moons in a row, they happened, first, right after Israel became a nation in 1948, and then again when Israel retook Jerusalem in 1967”. But at 2.07am you’ll see a small chunk being nibbled out of its brilliant disc by the Earth’s shadow. It will be the time when the moon will cruise into the penumbral shadow of the planet. In fact, some sunlight is bent around by the Earth’s atmosphere and lights up the Moon feebly. Unfortunately, not everyone sees this month’s blood moon as something to look forward to.

If you missed Jupiter’s collision with Venus back in June, now’s your chance to see another spectacular celestial sight-and this one should be much easier to spot. According to a report from UPI, the moon’s orbit was abnormally close to Earth over the weekend, an event also known as perigee.

And that’s not all. This is happening because there’s a strong connection between tides and Moon’s gravitational pull.

Gemma Lavender of the Royal Astronomical Society has, however, said that rumors suggesting that a supermoon invites tidal floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions should never be believed. And giant Jupiter joins the trio of planets in the morning sky, rising at 4.30am.

The September 27th “double moon” may be a hoax but that does not mean we’re not getting an awesome celestial event on that day. It occults the bright red giant star Aldebaran between 5.40am and 5.55am – depending on your location. Have you made plans beyond September 29?
