This year, two supermoons are expected to occur in August. The first one will be observed on Tuesday evening. The formation process of the supermoon is as follows: The Moon orbits around the Earth in a slightly elliptical path. Therefore, it sometimes appears a bit closer and sometimes a bit farther from the Earth. When the Moon is at its closest position to Earth and a full moon occurs, it is called a "supermoon."
