While the blue moon will create a spectacular backdrop from the world’s perspective, its intensifying gravitational pull makes the tides higher and more
This summer says goodbye to August with the brightest “Blue Moon” next year. The astronomical phenomenon will be the biggest supermoon in a long time, eagerly awaited by thousands of citizens.
Nevertheless, experts have warned that it could has dangerous implications here on Earth and specifically to raise the tidesjust as it is done as with him Hurricane Idalia on the west coast of Florida.
“I would say the timing right now is pretty bad,” said Brian Haines, the meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service’s Charleston, South Carolina, office.
The moon will be closest to Earth at 9:35 p.m. ET tonight – the same time Hurricane Idalia is expected to make landfall in Florida.
While the blue moon will create a spectacular backdrop from the world’s perspective, its intensifying gravitational pull makes the tides higher and higher. When the moon is full, it and the sun are pulled in the same direction, which causes the tides to rise above normal limits, according to Kerry Emanuel.
It is said that tidal flooding is expected to occur not only in Florida, but in US states such as Georgia and South Carolina.
