Don't Miss the Spectacular Super Blue Moon This Week

A rare super blue moon, the second full supermoon of the month, will appear on August 30. While not actually blue in color, a blue moon signifies a second full moon within a single month. Supermoons are about 16% brighter and appear bigger than an average full moon. Those who miss out on this blue moon will have to wait until May 2026 for the next one. Saturn will also be visible near the moon on August 30, and binoculars or a telescope will help viewers see some of the planet's distinguishing features.
