Double the Stargazing Fun: Two Supermoons Illuminate August Skies

TL;DR Summary
August will feature two supermoons, with the first one occurring on Tuesday evening and the second on August 30th. The supermoon on August 30th will also be a blue moon, as it is the second full moon in the same month. This rare occurrence won't happen again until 2037. Stargazers are encouraged to watch the full moon rise in the eastern sky, as it will appear brighter and bigger than usual. Binoculars or telescopes can enhance the experience by revealing lunar features such as lunar maria and crater rays.
