Look to the eastern sky tonight to see a rare super blue moon.
Tonight's super blue moon will be the brightest and largest full moon of the year. It will also be the closest full supermoon until November 2025, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. We won't see another super blue moon until 2037, according to NASA. You can also see Saturn, it's the bright point of light near the moon.
Is the moon really blue?
No, but according to NASA, on rare occasions, tiny particles in the air ― typically of smoke or dust ― can scatter away red wavelengths of light, causing the Moon to appear blue. The idea of a blue moon comes from a 16th-century term, a term used to describe something impossible.
