At the end of this week, the moon will record its third fullness, so that there is an opportunity to witness the blue moon in its rare form before it reappears again in 2024.
The full blue moon appears once every two years and seven months in the Mediterranean basin. It does not appear blue, but it is possible to see a blue moon if its light passes through smoke caused by forest fires or volcanic eruptions.
Al-Hurra website stated that residents of the Americas will be able to see the full moon on Saturday night before it reaches its highest point in the sky after midnight, and reaches its peak in the morning.
NASA says that the first time the blue moon was mentioned was in the year 1528 AD, to appear for the last time in 2020, and this year the moon records four full moons instead of three as is the case every year.
CNN reported that this moon had many different names, including the “sturgeon” moon, which was named after large fish bearing this name and was easy to catch at the time of the moonrise. It was also called the green corn moon, the raspberry moon, and the summer moon. The great harvest moon, the joy moon.
