(Photo: Shorebeat)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Weather-wise, it\u2019s going to be a perfect sky-viewing week. Each day is forecast to be clear, with temperatures in the low 70s at night. According to NASA, a supermoon occurs when the Moon\u2019s orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time the moon is full. In these circumstances, the moon appears brighter and larger than a regular full moon \u2013 hence the phrase \u201csupermoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting, for local purposes, that tides will likely be running high (and low) this week, in line with most full moons, however there may be a slight increase in the amount of water that flows in and out of the back bays.<\/p>\n<p>The best time to view the \u201csupermoon\u201d will be closest to moonrise, when it will appear to be at its largest \u2013 though later at night, it may appear at its brightest. Moonrise occurs at 7:56 p.m. Tuesday, so taking in a sunset and a supermoon all-in-one will be your best bet to get the most out of an after-dinner trip to the beach or bay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Super Blue Moon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll most certainly follow up with another article later this month on the topic of a rare \u201csuper blue moon,\u201d but it\u2019s worth mentioning while we\u2019re on topic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14413\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lavallette-seaside.shorebeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sunset_moon_isl_1379-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14413\" class=\"size-large wp-image-14413\" src=\"https:\/\/lavallette-seaside.shorebeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sunset_moon_isl_1379-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The near-full-moon at sunset, July 30, 2023.

This will occur Aug. 30-31, 2023 and reach peak illumination at 9:36 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cblue moon\u201d isn\u2019t exactly blue in color, but is more of a colloquial phrase that indicates a rare event. Blue moons occur when there is an \u201cextra\u201d full moon in a given month thanks to how the calendar works out. This occurs once every two to three years. But a \u201csuper\u201d blue moon occurs when a regular \u201cblue moon\u201d and a \u201csupermoon\u201d occur simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2023\/07\/supermoon-to-appear-tuesday-night-followed-by-rare-super-blue-moon-later-this-month\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite some clouds and scattered thunderstorms, night owls this weekend may have noticed the intensity of the moonlight \u2013 either shining through one\u2019s bedroom window or glistening off the bay or ocean.
