Double the Stargazing Fun: August's Dual Supermoons Illuminate the Night Sky

August will feature a pair of supermoons, with the first one occurring on Tuesday evening and the second on August 30th. The second full moon in August will also be a rare blue moon. This double supermoon phenomenon last occurred in 2018 and won't happen again until 2037. Astronomers recommend taking advantage of the warm summer nights to observe the full moon rise in the eastern sky, and binoculars or telescopes can enhance the experience by revealing lunar features such as volcanic plains and crater rays.
