A Super Blue Moon combines two rare lunar events: a Blue Moon and a Super Moon.

Blue Moon

Definition: A Blue Moon occurs when there are two full moons in a single calendar month.
Color: Despite its name, the moon doesn’t actually appear blue; the term symbolizes rarity and is often used to denote something that happens infrequently.
Timing: The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days, while most months are 30 or 31 days, making it possible to have two full moons within one month if the first occurs early in the month.

Super Moon

Definition: A Super Moon happens when a full moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth (called perigee).
Appearance: During this time, the Moon appears larger and brighter than usual in the night sky, making for a spectacular sight.

Significance

Events like the Super Blue Moon are not just visually stunning; they also attract interest from astronomers and the public alike. They provide an opportunity for people to engage with astronomy and appreciate the natural beauty of our celestial neighbors.
