"2023's Super Blue Moon: A Spectacular Celestial Encounter with Saturn"

The Blue Moon, the second full moon in August, will rise on August 30, 2023, and coincide with a close approach to the planet Saturn. This Blue Moon is also a supermoon, appearing larger and brighter than usual due to its proximity to Earth. Skywatchers in central Europe will have the best view of the moon and Saturn in conjunction, while those in the Southern Hemisphere will see Saturn below the moon. Other visible planets include Jupiter, Mars, and Venus. The constellations visible in August include the Summer Triangle, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Pegasus, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, and Draco. The Blue Moon has different names and associations among Native American tribes and European traditions.
