TL;DR Summary

The full Moon on August 30 will be a rare combination of a Blue Moon and a supermoon, occurring when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in a month. A Blue Moon refers to when a full Moon appears for the second time in a month, and it happens about once every two-and-a-half years on average. Supermoons are more common, occurring three or four times a year. However, the combination of a Blue Moon and a supermoon is a very rare phenomenon, with the next occurrence not expected until 2037.
