AgenciesIt will be a sheer treat for sky watchers in 2023, as there will be 13 full moons, 4 of which will be supermoons, and 1 blue moon. Moreover, there will be a partial solar eclipse this year, but that can be seen only in the eastern United States.
A supermoon phenomenon happens when the moon moves at its closest point to Earth, which is also known as perigee. Due to this, the moon appears slightly bigger than a normal full moon. Though a supermoon looks better than a full moon, it's not easy to notice the difference. Besides supermoons, there will be a blue moon event in August this year, which will be the second full moon in a month.
