TL;DR Summary
On August 30, the second full moon of the month, known as a Blue Moon, will coincide with the moon's closest approach to Earth, making it a Supermoon. While the moon will not actually appear blue, it will be slightly larger and brighter than usual. This event may also cause larger than normal tides, known as perigean spring tides, which could lead to coastal flooding. Additionally, the planet Saturn will be visible near the moon, adding to the celestial spectacle.
