Supermoon was seen in Delhi. This is the biggest and brightest moon of the year.
Supermoon was visible across the world on Thursday. During this period the size of the moon appeared 14% larger than normal. The moon also appeared 30% brighter. A supermoon occurs when the distance between the Earth and the Moon becomes shortest.
Because of this the moon appears bigger and brighter. On seeing this supermoon, it seemed as if it was coming closer to the Earth. Supermoon was visible in many parts of the country including Delhi, Guwahati, Kashmir.
This third supermoon this year will be seen again on November 15. On Thursday, the Moon remained approximately 351,519 km away from the Earth. Whereas usually it is farthest at 4,05,000 km and nearest is 3,63,104 km. Last month, a supermoon was also visible on September 18, when the Moon was 357,485 km away from the Earth.
At the same time, the first supermoon of the year appeared on August 19. At that time the Moon was 361,969 km away from the Earth. The fourth supermoon of the year will be seen on November 15, when the Moon will be 361,866 km away from the Earth. Pictures of supermoon in the country and the world…

Blue moon was visible in August last year Last year there was a supermoon on August 1 and August 30 also. The supermoon of August 30 was called the Super Blue Moon. Actually, one cycle of the moon is 29.5 days. When a full moon occurs twice in a calendar month, it is called ‘Blue Moon’.
There was a full moon on August 1, 2023, then a second full moon occurred on August 30, hence it was called Blue Moon. Generally this happens once every 2 to 3 years. Full Moon, Supermoon and Blue Moon are falling on 30th August, hence it is being called ‘Super Blue Moon’.
This trend started from the year 1940 that if two full moons occur in the same month, then the second full moon will be called blue moon. Since there is a supermoon on this day, the moon will appear big and bright, but not blue.
This is a supermoon The Moon revolves around the Earth in an elliptical orbit. Therefore the distance between the Earth and the Moon keeps changing every day. When the Moon is farthest from the Earth it is called Apogee. When the Moon is closest to the Earth, it is called perigee.
When the moon is at perigee i.e. closest to the Earth and a full moon occurs, it is called a supermoon. Astrologer Richard Noll first used the term ‘supermoon’ in 1979. At the time of supermoon, the Moon appears 14% larger and 30% brighter than the Earth.
It is worth noting here that neither the size nor the brightness of the moon changes. But on that day, when it is near the earth, it feels bigger and brighter.
The distance between the Earth and the Moon at apogee is about 4.05 lakh kilometers. The distance of the Moon from the Earth at perigee is about 3.63 lakh kilometers. (Source: NASA)
What is the relationship between full moon and supermoon? Every 27 days the Moon completes one revolution around the Earth. Full moon also occurs once in 29.5 days. A supermoon does not occur on every full moon, but every supermoon occurs on a full moon. The Moon revolves around the Earth in an oval, so the distance between the Earth and the Moon varies every day.
Super Buck Moon happens in July The supermoon seen in July is also called Buck Moon. In Hindi, Bak means adult male deer. This is said to be in reference to the time of year when deer grow new antlers. At the same time, in some places the Supermoon of July is also called Thunder Moon, because thunder and lightning are common in this month.
The supermoon seen in July is also called buck (deer) moon.
