TL;DR Summary

Stargazers are in for a rare treat tonight with a blue supermoon, the second full moon of the month, appearing closer to Earth than usual and accompanied by the visible presence of Saturn. 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 own eyes, without the need for binoculars or telescopes. The best time to see it is around 10 p.m. when it's low on the horizon, creating an optical illusion that makes the moon appear larger than it is.
