The appearance time of the super big moon in 2023

The maximum full moon appeared at 9: 36 on August 3, 20231day.

At this time, the distance between the earth and the moon is 35734 1 km. Because the distance between the earth and the moon is less than 360 thousand kilometers, it conforms to the general definition of "super moon" This full moon is the second full moon in the same month after the super moon on August 2, which is the so-called "blue moon".

In western proverbs, "Onceinabluemoon" refers to something very rare, but in fact, the blue moon is not particularly rare. Because the first month of the lunar calendar is 29.53 days, although there will not be two full moons in most months, it is not particularly rare that a blue moon event will occur every two to three years on average.

However, if we consider that the blue moon is also a super moon, it only appeared four times in the hundred years from 195 1 to 2050, on July 30th of 1 and 20 1 respectively.
