TL;DR Summary

A supermoon will light up the night sky at the end of August, coinciding with the closest and brightest appearance of the ringed planet Saturn. The full moon will peak on August 30, and Saturn will be visible about 5 degrees to the upper right of the moon. This supermoon is also considered a blue moon, but it won't actually appear blue. The supermoon's proximity to Earth may enhance tides and worsen storm surge, potentially affecting Hurricane Idalia. Additionally, upcoming lunar and solar eclipses and meteor showers are mentioned.
