What is a Blue Supermoon?
The full moon is a phase occurring when the moon is completely illuminated from Earth's perspective. A blue moon refers to the second full moon in a calendar month, while a supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter. Combining these two phenomena results in an extraordinary sight.
