昨天出现了超级月亮。今晚的月亮看起来也很壮观。超级月亮看起来比大多数满月更大更亮,因为它们在离地球更近的时候达到满月——比90%的满月更近。这个超级月亮也是一个蓝月亮,因为它是一个季节中出现的四个满月中的第三个。蓝月亮通常不是蓝色的,另一种定义认为蓝月亮是一个月内出现的第二次满月。昨天,蓝色超级月亮正从希腊波塞冬神庙上方升起,这张特色图片恰好捕捉到了它的峰值。这次超级月亮特别不寻常,因为它是连续四次超级月亮中的第一次,接下来的三次发生在9月、10月和11月。

A supermoon occurred yesterday. And tonight's moon should also look impressive. Supermoons appear slightly larger and brighter than most full moons because they reach their full phase when slightly nearer to the Earth -- closer than 90 percent of all full moons. This supermoon was also a blue moon given the definition that it is the third of four full moons occurring during a single season. Blue moons are not usually blue, and a different definition holds that a blue moon is the second full moon that occurs during a single month. The featured image captured the blue supermoon right near its peak size yesterday as it was rising beyond the Temple of Poseidon in Greece. This supermoon is particularly unusual in that it is the first of four successive supermoons, the next three occurring in September, October, and November.
