Our next full moon is Wed 30 Aug 2023 and it's gonna be a Super Moon and a Blue Moon... a SUPER BLUE MOON you guys! What does that mean? Obviously, you may develop psychic abilities and a craving for wet dog food, but also it means the moon will appear larger and brighter than a regular ol' full moon. A supermoon occurs when it is a full moon during the time when the moon is closest to the earth. Also, whenever you get two full moons in the same month, that is rare and they call it a blue moon. Ergo, SUPER BLUE MOON!! A SUPER BLUEY!!!

Time Frame: according to NASA, the moon will be opposite the sun at 9:36p Eastern (add an hour for Atlantic Time) on Wed Aug 30. That's supposed to be the super-est time to see it.
Next Up: We won't get another super bluey until January of 2037.
OK, so no blue moon again for a long time, but what about the next super moon (non-blue)? Next supermoon is the full moon on September 29th, 2023. It'll be the Full Corn Moon, and then that's it for supermoons this year!! We won't get another supermoon until Sept of 2024.
