On August 30 2023, the night sky will glow with the Super Blue Moon, appearing larger due to its close distance to Earth, despite not being actually blue.
A Blue Moon, happening every two to three years, is when two full moons appear within a single month.
The Blue Moon will be seen opposite the sun at 9:36 p.m. EDT on August 30th and will be visible to naked eyes.
This occurrence is exceptionally uncommon—roughly a quarter of full moons transform into supermoons, and just about a third take on the blue moon phenomenon.
While the occurrence of a super blue moon twice in the same month is possible, NASA reports that these events can also be separated by intervals of up to 20 years.
