Another celestial phenomenon that will occur this year, precisely on September 29 2023, is the Supermoon or Super Full Moon. This Supermoon phenomenon will be the last to occur in 2023.

This celestial phenomenon, which is also called the Harvest Moon, can be observed with the naked eye throughout Indonesia. This year there were four Supermoons. Because this is the last Supermoon, don’t miss out on observing it.

Supermoon schedule 29 September 2023

Reported by detikNews from the official account of the National Institute of Aviation and Space (LAPAN) National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), this Supermoon will occur in Indonesia on Friday, September 29 2023. Following are the observation hours for the Indonesian territory.

Friday, September 29 2023 starting at 16.57 WIB

Friday, September 29 2023 starting at 17.57 WITA

Friday, September 29 2023 starting at 18.57 WIT.

How to See the Supermoon in Indonesia

LAPAN BRIN said that the Supermoon phenomenon on September 29 2023 could be observed directly or with the naked eye without the help of a telescope or anything else.

List of Supermoon phenomena in 2023:

Buck Moon: 3 Juli 2023
Sturgeon Moon: 1 Agustus 2023
Blue Moon: 30 Agustus 2023
Harvest Moon: 29 September 2023.

What is a Supermoon?

Quoting the Space page, Supermoon is a Super Full Moon phenomenon which occurs when the moon is closer to the earth. When the Supermoon phenomenon occurs, the moon will look bigger and brighter than usual.

This Supermoon or super full moon phenomenon makes the moon 30% brighter and a 14% increase in the lunar disk as seen from Earth. However, generally this difference is not visible to the naked eye, unless someone really pays attention to the brightness of the moon every night.

The cause of the Supermoon phenomenon is because the moon’s orbit around the earth does not form a perfect circle, aka an oval, due to the influence of Earth’s gravity, so there are certain times in the moon’s orbit that are closer to the earth. That’s why the Supermoon phenomenon occurs, namely when the moon is in the full phase of the 29.5 day lunar cycle and is at Perigee, the closest point to the earth in its orbit.

September 2023 Supermoon: Harvest Moon and Last Supermoon Phenomenon of the Year

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 26, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Jakarta –

The supermoon phenomenon will occur again this month, precisely on Friday, September 29 2023. Previously, a supermoon occurred last August. The presence of this September supermoon will be the last supermoon phenomenon in 2023.

In some countries, this supermoon coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival. So this month is also called the ‘harvest moon’ or the last harvest moon.

According to Patrick Hartigan, professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University, the harvest moon occurs as a marker of the harvest period.

“Harvest moon is called that because for several days the full moon will rise when the sun sets,” he explained.

At that time, farmers in the northern hemisphere would harvest their crops and get more light to work again after the sun went down.

In general, the rise of the Moon occurs about 50 minutes later. However, before the harvest month, the appearance becomes faster, namely just 24 minutes in Chicago and 17 minutes in Seattle.

Second Supermoon Phenomenon in 2023

Launching the site Business Insider, a supermoon is a type of full Moon that appears 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than the dimmest Moon of the year. This is because this month’s location is closest to Earth, which is called perigee.

However, it is known that this month’s supermoon will not be as big as last August. Even so, the size of the supermoon this time is still on average large compared to a normal Moon.

“The difference between this full moon and August is only 4,370 kilometers, so this full moon will be very close,” explained Noah Petro, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter project scientist to Insider.

Supermoon Appearance

Although the supermoon in September 2023 will not be as close and bright as the supermoon in August, it will probably appear more dark yellow, orange or red.

The moon will appear to change color when it rises, sets, or during a lunar eclipse. This is also the same as seeing the sunrise or sunset which emits red light.

“Earth’s atmosphere scatters light except for red or orange colors,” explains Patrick.

Apart from that, the Moon’s brightness level is also influenced by atmospheric conditions, such as clouds, smoke or dust which can change its color.

When will the September 2023 Supermoon appear?

The best time to see this big September supermoon is when the Moon enters its rising time. Because, when it rises, objects in the foreground such as trees or rocks will give a sense of scale and make the Moon look bigger and more amazing.

So the right time to see the supermoon phenomenon in this year’s harvest month is just before the moon rises, which is around 7 pm local time.

According to NASA, on September 29, the Sun will rise at 07.02 California time and set at 18.54 with twilight ending at 19.52.

Meanwhile in Indonesia, this phenomenon began to appear on September 29 at 16.57 WIB.

Tips for Photographing the Blue Moon Tonight Using a Cell Phone

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 30, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Jakarta –

For astronomy lovers, the appearance of the blue moon tonight may not be enough just to be observed. It’s a shame if this rare full moon phenomenon isn’t captured by taking photos, at least using a cellphone camera.

Some preparation is required in photographing the full moon. To note, the lens on a smartphone camera is a wide-angle lens so that when using a far-sky object like the Moon, its appearance will look so small.

Pay attention to the tips for photographing a blue moon using a cell phone quoted from Infoastronomy.org below, so that the Blue Moon tonight is perfectly captured.

How to Shoot Blue Moon Tonight Using a HP

1. Don’t use zoom

Some cameras are now equipped with advanced zoom features that produce quality shots taken from a distance. However, the feature is digital zoom only.

This feature allows you to zoom in on image objects to make it look as if they are getting closer, so it’s not a true zoom feature like optical zoom on DSLR cameras. This feature only does a crop on the results of the photo which can reduce the quality.

2. Make use of the foreground

Instead of using the digital zoom feature, you can use another photo technique, namely by including the foreground or foreground. So instead of just focusing on the Moon, you can use the foreground like trees, buildings, and so on to make the photos more interesting.

3. Turn off the flash

Photographing the blue moon phenomenon is photography with minimal light. For camera settings, start by turning off the flash. Although shooting is done at night, we don’t need flash.

4. Use manual mode

Enter manual mode on the smartphone camera. By entering this mode, you can freely set several important parameters in shooting such as ISO and shutter speed.

5. Set ISO and shutter speed

Next, in manual mode, set the ISO and shutter speed to the lowest number shown on your cellphone screen. This setting is useful so that the resulting image quality can be maximized.

6. Adjust exposure

Besides ISO and shutter speed, exposure also needs to be regulated. Currently there are many HP cameras whose exposure can be adjusted. The exposure adjustment function is to adjust the brightness of the image so that you can adjust the intensity of the moonlight and the desired surrounding environment.

7. Use a telescope

To get a big picture of the Moon in the photos, photographers need a telephoto lens. But since smartphones cannot be attached to telephoto lenses, we can change the method by attaching them to telescopes.

The telescope functions as a light collector. By attaching a smartphone camera to a telescope, the photos will of course be clearer. For those of you who want to use a telescope, you need to buy a smartphone camera adapter for the telescope. Attach your smartphone to the adapter and then attach the adapter to the telescope eyepiece.

Hopefully, the sky will be clear tonight so that the appearance of the blue moon will look clearer and more beautiful. Happy shooting!

Rare Blue Moon Supermoon to Shine Brightly Tomorrow, August 31st

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 30, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Mahmoud Ragheb wrote Wednesday, August 30, 2023 02:00 AM

Tomorrow, Thursday, August 31, the globe will witness a unique astronomical phenomenon that will not be repeated until the year 2032 blue Moon Supermoon, a term used to refer to an additional full moon, when the inhabitants of Earth witness two full moons in one month.

Dr. Ashraf Tadros, professor of astronomy at the National Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research, said that the full moon of the month of Safar for the current Hijri year, the “blue moon”, will be completed at 3:37 am next Thursday morning, and it will rise immediately after sunset on this day, and its brightness will reach 100%, and it will remain in the sky. All night until sunset and sunrise the next morning.

Dr. Ashraf Tadros added that this full moon is the third giant moon among the four giant moons of this year that come successively until next September, when the moon is in the perihelion region in its orbit around the Earth, which is the region relatively close to the Earth, so the moon appears a little larger and brighter than usual. .

He explained that the moon appears to us as if it was a full moon in the period from August 30 to September 1, and this is because the naked eye cannot easily distinguish the slight decrease in the roundness of the moon disk.

The astronomy professor explained that the blue moon is the second full moon in one Gregorian month, and this happens on average every two or three years, so if the blue moon is defined as two full full moons in one Gregorian month, then there are about three blue moons approximately every ten years, adding that There is another definition of the blue moon, which is more common, and is defined as the third full moon in a season or season of the year with four full moons, and this occurs approximately every two years and eight months, and according to this definition there are 2 blue moons approximately every 10 years.

And he continued: It is known that there is only one full moon and only one full moon almost every Gregorian month, and therefore when the full moon comes twice in the Gregorian month, the second full moon is called the blue moon, which applies to the current month of August, as the full moon came on the first of August, and the day of August 31″.

And the time of the full moon is the best time to see the terrain, volcanic craters and meteorites on the surface of the moon using binoculars and small telescopes, advising amateur astronomers wishing to monitor and follow these astronomical phenomena by watching them in the coasts, fields, deserts, prairies and mountains.

Super Blue Moon Schedule and Phenomenon in Surabaya, Indonesia in August 2023

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 27, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Surabaya –

The Super Blue Moon phenomenon will occur on August 30-31 2023. Here is the schedule for seeing it in Indonesia.

Before discussing the Super Blue Moon, there’s nothing wrong with reviewing the Supermoon. Like the cause.

quoted Detik news from the Space site, Supermoon is a full moon phenomenon that occurs when the moon is closer to the earth. Therefore, when a Supermoon occurs, the moon will appear larger and brighter than usual.

A supermoon or super full moon can cause 30 percent of the moon’s brightness and a 14 percent increase in the moon’s disk as seen from Earth. But this difference is usually invisible to the naked eye, unless one is paying close attention to the presence of the moon each night.

Supermoon occurs because the moon’s orbit around the earth does not form a perfect circle, as a result of the influence of the earth’s gravity. The moon’s orbit around the earth is elliptical, looking like an elongated circle or oval.

That means there are times in the moon’s 27-day orbit that it is closer to Earth and farther at other times. A supermoon occurs when the moon is in the full moon phase of its 29.5-day lunar cycle, and is at Perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit.

On the Almanac page, it is stated that in August 2023 there will be two Supermoons. The first supermoon is the Full Sturgeon Moon, which peaks on Tuesday, 1 August 2023. Then the second Supermoon, a Blue Moon will appear, on Thursday, 30-31 August 2023.

Super Blue Moon Schedule August 30-31 2023

Quoting the official Instagram account of the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), the Super Blue Full Moon can also be observed in Indonesia. The Super Blue Moon will occur on Thursday, 31 August 2023 at 20.35 WIB or 21.35 WITA or 22.35 WIT.

The Super Blue Moon will actually appear from Wednesday, 30 August 2023. However, it can only be observed in Indonesia on Thursday, 31 August 2023.

According to BRIN, the way to see the Supermoon is enough to direct your eyes towards the moon. The Supermoon phenomenon can be observed with the naked eye without the aid of any optical devices. Unless you want to capture it in the form of photos or videos.

Quoting the Almanac page, the term Blue Moon or Blue Moon is most often used when there are two Supermoon phenomena in one month, such as in August 2023. This 2023 Supermoon is very special because these four events occur sequentially.

A series of supermoons throughout 2023

Supermoon occurs four times in 2023. On the Space website it is explained that the first Supermoon this year will occur on Monday, July 3 2023. The following is the Supermoon schedule for 2023:

Buck Moon: 3 Juli 2023Sturgeon Moon: 1 Agustus 2023Blue Moon: 30 Agustus 2023Harvest Moon: 29 September 2023
