In pics: Rare blue supermoon dazzles stargazers around the globe
The rare blue supermoon — the closest full moon of the year — dazzled stargazers Wednesday night. Adding to the joy was Saturn joining the celestial spectacle. The planet was visible alongside the moon, at least where skies were clear. It was the second full moon of August, thus the blue label. And it was unusually close to Earth, therefore a supermoon. The moon appeared to be bigger and brighter than usual, given its close proximity to Earth: just 222,043 miles (357,344 kilometers) or so. The Aug. 1 supermoon was more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) farther away.
In Pictures: The first supermoon in August rises around the world
The cosmos is offering up a double feature in August: a pair of supermoons culminating in a rare blue moon. Catch the first show Tuesday evening as the full moon rises in the southeast, appearing slightly brighter and bigger than normal. That's because it will be closer than usual, just 222,159 miles (357,530 kilometers) away, thus the supermoon label.
In pictures: Rising water level of Yamuna submerges Delhi
With Yamuna levels rising to a record high, several key areas in Delhi were flooded on Thursday. The Yamuna water level touched 208.53 metres at 10 am, breaking a 45-year-old record, officials said. As the Yamuna swelled, Kejriwal announced the closure of schools in inundated areas. The areas including Boat Club, Pandav Nagar, some parts of Gandhi Nagar, Bhajanpura were inundated with floodwaters. According to officials, locals in some areas showed reluctance in moving out even as water reached their homes. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said water supply may be affected in parts of the city with the shutting down of treatment plants at Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla following rising levels of the Yamuna. Visuals of people wading through knee-deep waters and carrying their belongings in low-lying areas were seen.
