HI MOONSHINES! NEXT WEEK
IS A BLUE SUPERMOON;

00:06.733 --> 00:10.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AN AMALGAMATION OF ASTRONOMICAL
ANOMALIES! LET'’’S GO SEE IT

00:10.266 --> 00:13.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
HIT THE DARKNESS AUGUST
30TH LOOKING SOUTHEAST.

00:13.366 --> 00:17.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
THE FULL MOON WILL LOOK
BRIGHTER, BUT WON'’’T BE BLUE IN
COLOR. SORRY.

00:17.100 --> 00:21.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
OUR MOON TAKES ABOUT 29.5 DAYS
TO GO THROUGH A FULL CYCLE.
SINCE OUR MONTHS

00:21.266 --> 00:25.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
HAPPEN TO BE 30 DAYS, EVERY 2.7
YEARS WE SEE TWO FULL MOONS IN
ONE MONTH;

00:25.933 --> 00:29.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
THE SECOND IS CALLED A BLUE
MOON. THE TERM COMES FROM A 16TH
CENTURY

00:29.433 --> 00:33.366 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
EXPRESSION THE MOON IS BLUE
KINDA LIKE WHEN PIGS FLY
DESCRIBING A RARE EVENT.

00:33.366 --> 00:36.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THIS WEEK THE MOON IS AT A CLOSE
POINT IN ITS ORBIT TOO! BECAUSE

00:36.900 --> 00:40.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE MOON'’’S ORBIT IS ELLIPTICAL
IT'’’S SOMETIMES CLOSER TO EARTH.

00:40.433 --> 00:44.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
WHEN THIS CLOSENESS COINCIDES
WITH A FULL MOON SOME CALL IT A
SUPERMOON.

00:44.566 --> 00:48.166 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
THE MOON REFLECTS SUNLIGHT. SO,
A CLOSER MOON APPEARS AS MUCH AS
FOURTEEN PERCENT LARGER,

00:48.166 --> 00:50.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
AND ABOUT THIRTY
PERCENT BRIGHTER!

00:50.900 --> 00:53.700 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
GO SEE SATURN SHINING NEAR THE
MOON AND BATHE IN THE EXTRA
MOONLIGHT WHILE YOU KEEP LOOKIN'’’
UP.
