"Rare Blue Supermoon Illuminates Night Sky in Closest Full Moon of the Year"

TL;DR Summary
Stargazers will have the opportunity to witness a rare blue supermoon this week, which is the second full moon of the month and appears larger and brighter due to its proximity to Earth. Saturn will also be visible as a bright point near the moon. This will be the closest full moon of the year, and the next blue supermoon won't occur until 2037. Observers can enjoy the spectacle with their naked eyes, and Italian astronomer Gianluca Masi hopes for clear skies to capture the event above St. Peter's Basilica.
