Blue Super Moon To Light Up The Skies On August 30

Published

The biggest and brightest full moon of the year – the “blue supermoon” – will appear in the sky tonight, August 30th, at 9:36 p.m.

The glorious blue supermoon is a rare convergence of three distinct lunar phenomena – the merger of a supermoon and a blue moon that is in alignment with the Hindu festival Rakhi Purnima.

The ringed planet Saturn, a few days from its brightest stance for the year, will accompany the rare blue supermoon, which can be seen
five degrees to the upper right of the Moon at around 8:42 p.m. tonight.

The supermoon phenomenon refers to the moon’s closeness to Earth during its full phase, making it appear bigger and brighter.

This is the second full moon of August.
