TL;DR Summary

Astrophotographer Miguel Claro captured a stunning photo and time-lapse video of the rare super Blue Moon of August 30, 2023, rising over Monsaraz Castle in Portugal. The Blue Moon, which is the second full moon in a month, coincided with the moon reaching its perigee, making it appear larger and brighter. This unique event won't happen again until 2037. Claro's work showcases the beauty of the night sky and can be seen on his website and Instagram.
