Double the Supermoons: A Celestial Spectacle in August
TL;DR Summary
August will feature two supermoons, with the first occurring on August 1 and the second on August 30. Supermoons appear larger and brighter than regular full moons due to their proximity to Earth. The August 30 supermoon will also be a blue moon, meaning it is the second full moon in the same calendar month. While it won't actually appear blue, the term "blue moon" refers to a rare occurrence. Supermoons and blue moons have different definitions, but both provide unique opportunities for skywatchers.
