The Super Blue Moon will shine bright tonight.
A super blue moon is a combination of a supermoon and a blue moon.
Supermoons occur when the moon is full and located at or near its closest point to Earth. These moons appear especially large and bright because they are slightly closer to Earth than normal full moons.
A blue moon is the term used to describe the second full moon in a month. The moon’s cycle is 29 and a half days, so every two-to-three years there is a blue moon where there’s a full moon at the very beginning and end of a single month. The next Blue Moon will happen in May 2026.
The spectacle should reach its peak around 9:30p.m.
There won’t be another Super Blue Moon until 2037.
