Captivating Images of the Super Blue Moon Illuminate the Globe

Stargazers around the world were treated to the rare sight of a blue supermoon, the closest full moon of the year, on Wednesday night. The moon appeared larger and brighter than usual due to its close proximity to Earth. While the term "blue moon" refers to the second full moon in a month, the moon itself does not actually appear blue. Only about three percent of full moons are blue moons, and the next blue supermoon is not expected until 2037. However, another regular supermoon is set to occur at the end of September.

Rare Blue Supermoon Illuminates Night Skies Across the Globe

A blue supermoon, the second full moon in August, occurred on Wednesday, appearing bigger and brighter than usual. A supermoon happens when the full moon coincides with the perigee, making it appear larger and brighter. Supermoons occur every three or four months, while blue moons, which happen every two or three years, are even rarer. Blue supermoons occur once every 10 years or so, with the last one in 2018 during a lunar eclipse. The next blue supermoons will occur in 2037.

"Rare 'Blue Supermoon' Shines Over Israel, Won't Return for 20 Years"

A rare "blue supermoon" rose over Israel and other parts of the world on August 30. While the name is misleading as the moon is not actually blue, it will appear with an orange hue. There are two types of blue moons, and this one is a "calendar blue moon" occurring when two full moons happen within the same month. This blue supermoon is particularly rare, happening only once a decade on average. It is also a perigean full moon, meaning it occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit. The next supermoon will be the Harvest Moon on September 29, 2023.
