For those who enjoy gazing at the sky, this year’s Raksha Bandhan will be especially memorable. A Super Blue Moon will be visible on Wednesday, August 30. This unusual occurrence is a result of the Blue Moon and Supermoon occurring on the same day as Raksha Bandhan, a significant Hindu holiday.
The Super Blue Moon will appear on Wednesday and reach its peak brightness at 6:07 am IST on August 31 at 8:37 pm EDT (8:37 pm EDT). But keep in mind that India will have a different time. In many Indian cities, beginning at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, you can view the Super Blue Moon.
The so-called “blue” moon won’t actually look blue, despite the name. It will be a cool orange color instead. It’s incredibly special to witness a Super Blue Moon of this caliber since they don’t occur frequently.
