TL;DR Summary

Florida will have the opportunity to witness two supermoons in August, with the first occurring on August 1 and the second on August 30. A supermoon is when the full moon or new moon is closest to Earth, making it appear larger in the sky. The upcoming supermoons will be approximately 222,200 miles and 221,900 miles away from Earth, respectively. The second supermoon on August 30 will also be a blue moon, which is a full moon that occurs twice in a month. Skywatchers are advised to find locations away from city lights for the best viewing experience.
