This Friday, astronomers and stargazers will get the opportunity to watch the second supermoon of the year. 2014 has five supermoon events and the first one occurred on 1 January. The second celestial treat, also called Black Moon, will take place on 31 January. The January supermoon wont be a full moon. Its a new moon. Some are calling it a Black Moon, but that name doesnt come from astronomy, reported Earth Sky. The reasons why it is called a Black Moon is because it is the second of two new moons in a month, according to Earthsky.org. The celestial phenomenon will take place on Friday. The phenomenon is known as a perigee full moon, which means the moon will appear as much as 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than a normal day. Thank you for this knowledge and this share Queen Divine!
