The Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics of the Faculty of Spatial Sciences (FACES), the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH), said Friday morning Hondurans will appreciate the so-called “Full Moon Blue”.
In a statement, the university unit that scientists explained that on Friday July 31, 2015 at 10:43 UT (Universal Time), ie at 04:43 local time, will be the second full moon to occur in the same calendar month. The phenomenon is known as “Blue Moon.”
The satellite of the Earth will make its appearance on the horizon for the second time under a full moon in the month of July. The above moon on Thursday July 2, 2015, was observed at 02:19 universal time.
“There is no clarity on the origin of the term Blue Moon, but it is believed that references something that happens very rarely and even to absurdity. Yes is clearly the occurrence of two full moons in the same month and does not alter the physical or chemical properties of the natural satellite, “the statement said.
It added that in certain cases, air pollutants such as smoke, aerosols and volcanic ash could alter the perception of the color of the Sun or the Moon to act as filters.
The Hondurans have the opportunity to observe the second full moon this month.
“After 18:35 Local time and if weather conditions allow, they will invite you to enjoy the beauty and inspiration that represents the full moon as seen from Earth for lovers, artists and astronomers,” invited.
Previously he was called Luna Azul the fourth full moon occurred in the same season. However, in order to offer an even simpler explanation to the phenomenon in 1946, James Hugh Pruett, published an article in the magazine “Sky & amp; Telescope “, which said that the” second (full moon) in a month, according to my interpretation, is called Blue Moon. “
That interpretation became the modern definition currently used to refer the phenomenon. It was not until 1999 that this became relevant to occur twice a year (January and March). The event will happen again in 2018, when the first blue moon occurs on 31 January and the second on March 31 of that year.
