Full moon August 2024

Catch the Sturgeon Super Blue Moon: A Celestial Spectacle Not to Miss!

Mark your calendars for August 19, 2024, as the sky stars a stunning rare supermoon blue moon! 🌕✨

August 19, 2024, is a date to remember as it marks the arrival of one of the most spectacular astronomical events of the year: the Sturgeon Super Blue Moon. This celestial phenomenon occurs when the full moon is at its closest point to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. With the moon sitting about 14,000 miles closer to us, stargazers around the globe are in for a treat. But not only will it be a supermoon – this full moon is also dubbed a ‘blue moon’ because it’s the third full moon in the summer season, making it a seasonal treat. If you want to catch a glimpse of this lunar lubber, make sure to look towards the eastern horizon around 18:26 GMT on August 19. Bring your friends, family, and maybe even a telescope for an extraordinary view!

Now, if you’re into horoscopes, the Full Moon in Aquarius will surely bring a frenzied vibe across all zodiac signs! Whether you’re a fiery Aries or a dreamy Pisces, each sign has its unique cosmic prescription for this moon. The moon’s energy is believed to amplify emotions and creativity, offering a chance for reflection and transformation. So grab your lucky charm, meditate under this shimmering glow, and ask the universe what you desire – the moonlight could spark a magical connection!

But what’s fascinating is that the Sturgeon Super Blue Moon isn’t just a wonder to look at; it’s also an astrological event that has roots in fishing folklore! Named after the sturgeon fish which were historically spawning during this time, it combines the themes of abundance with the harvest moon. Irish traditions often celebrate the intersection of community and nature during full moons, so why not embrace a little bit of that magic by getting together with friends for some moon-gazing? Nothing says bonding like watching a celestial celebration!

And for those wondering – how often do these events occur? A blue moon is rare; we might only get one every few years. To get a supermoon and a blue moon in one night is even rarer! Our next opportunity will not come around soon, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to relish the beauty of the universe. Remember to snap some pictures and share them on social media to let your friends bask in the beauty of your lunar night! So grab a blanket, maybe some hot cocoa, and prepare to be wowed by a celestial display that speaks to the heart of every stargazer!

As a little bonus fact, did you know that the term ‘blue moon’ typically refers to the second full moon in a calendar month? As if we needed any more reasons to celebrate this month! Plus, it’s also worthwhile remembering that the last blue moon occurred back in August 2021 – so who’s counting? Not you, after this moon!
