"Unveiling the Spectacular Super Blue Moon Phenomenon"

The upcoming full moon on August 30-31, 2023, will be a supermoon and a blue moon, meaning it will appear larger and brighter in the sky. A supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, while a blue moon happens when there are two full moons in a single month. However, despite the name, the moon will not actually be blue. The next occurrence of a super blue moon will be in January and March 2037.
