TL;DR Summary

A rare blue "supermoon," the biggest and brightest moon of the year, will be visible on the night of August 30. The supermoon will appear slightly larger, about 7% bigger, and will be accompanied by the bright presence of Saturn. Skygazers in the U.S. can see Saturn in the constellation Aquarius, while those in the Southern Hemisphere can see it below the moon. A supermoon occurs when a full moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, while a blue moon refers to the second full moon in a single month.
