Rare Super Blue Moon to Illuminate the Sky This Week

This week, skywatchers will have the opportunity to witness a super-rare celestial event known as a Perigee Blue Moon. This phenomenon occurs when a Full Moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. Perigee Blue Moons are quite rare, with the last one occurring over 27 years ago and the next one not expected until 2115. While Blue Moons and supermoons individually happen more frequently, the combination of both makes this event particularly special.
