About this work
A super blue Moon rises above Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, Aug. 18, 2024. Although not actually appearing blue, as the third full Moon in a season with four full Moons, this is called a “blue” Moon. The Moon at or near its closest point to Earth is a “super” Moon and can appear up to 14% bigger and brighter than normal full Moons. About 25% of all full Moons are super, but only 3% of full Moons are blue, with the next super blue Moons occurring as a pair in January and March 2037.
