At dusk, as the last golden rays of the sun tenderly caressed the tops of the fir trees that crown the Franco-Swiss ridge, a spectacle of rare beauty took shape in the firmament. The glowing glow of the full moon, rising on the horizon, captured the amazed gaze of souls still awake on the night of August 30 to 31.
This exceptional celestial phenomenon was, as expected, the result of an extremely rare conjunction of two astronomical events: the supermoon and the blue moon. The Super Moon occurs when our trusty satellite comes closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit, rising up into the sky in imposing splendor, appearing larger and brighter than in its usual cycles.
cosmic encounter
The full moon, a spectacle always awaited by lovers of the starry sky, generally occurs every 29 and a half days. However, every once in a while our lunar calendar surprises us with two full moons in a single month. It is at this precise moment that the Blue Moon makes its appearance.
What made this evening even more exceptional: this super blue Moon presents itself to us in all its splendor without the slightest cloud. A cosmic encounter that only happens a few times in a lifetime, a celestial dance that reminds us of the majesty of the universe and awakens our fascination for the infinite mysteries of space.
