The Moon will be at its closest distance to the Earth - at the perigee of its orbit on August 30 at 19:52 Baku time and on August 31 at 05:37 it will go into the Full Moon phase. The Super Moon can be observed in Azerbaijan on the night of August 30-31, starting at 7:23 p.m. throughout the night.
According to SciTechDaily, the planet Saturn, just a few days from its closest and brightest for the year, will appear near the Moon. As evening twilight ends (at 8:42 p.m.) Saturn will be 5 degrees to the upper right of the Moon, and will appear to swing clockwise around the Moon as the evening progresses. The Moon will appear full for 3 days around the peak of the full Moon, from Tuesday night to Friday morning.
This will be a supermoon. This full Moon will be the second full Moon in August, making it a Blue Moon.
