The last supermoon of this year will be seen on August 11, know when it will be visible in India

After seeing the supermoon first in June and then in July, another supermoon is coming for those interested in space. The last supermoon of this year will be visible on August 11. This full moon moon can be seen in India too, but here on Friday, August 12, this supermoon will be visible. Just like the previous two supermoons were named Strawberry Moon and Thunder Moon, this time we will see ‘Full Sturgeon Moon’. This will be the fourth of four consecutive supermoons. According to NASA, the word sturgeon is derived from the American tribe Algonquin. Every year this tribe catches sturgeon fish in this season, due to which this full moon is being called sturgeon moon.

According to NASA, a supermoon is said to be the situation when the Moon’s orbit is closest to the Earth at the same time the Moon is full. A supermoon can appear 14 to 30 percent brighter than an average night. This supermoon is expected to be visible for three days from Wednesday to Friday.

From a scientific point of view, the Moon will reach its closest point in Earth’s orbit on this day at perigee. Because of this, it will appear slightly larger than normal compared to the normal full moon. This will be the fourth of four consecutive supermoons to be visible.
During this time the distance between the Earth and the Moon will be reduced by about 26 thousand kilometers.

However, due to the Sturgeon Moon, other celestial events visible in the sky will be affected. The Perseids meteor shower is also to take place at the same time. It is considered one of the best meteor showers of the year, but NASA says that due to the supermoon, its fun will be reduced.

Usually 50 to 100 meteors can be seen per hour during the Perseid meteor shower, but this time only 10 to 20 meteor showers will be visible per hour. The rest of the showers would almost disappear in the light of the Moon. These meteor showers were last seen in the year 1992. This time it will be at its peak on August 13, but then the light of the supermoon will make them shine in the sky.
