- It is featured as a unique combination of a supermoon and a Blue Moon, making it an extraordinary celestial event.
- The term supermoon was introduced by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979.
- A supermoon occurs when a full or new Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth, known as perigee.
- This proximity makes the Moon appear larger and brighter than usual.
- The term “Blue Moon” has historically referred to the third full Moon in a season that has four full Moons, a relatively rare occurrence.
- The earliest recorded use of the term dates back to 1528.
- Only about 25% of full Moons are supermoons, and approximately 3% are Blue Moons.
- The next super Blue Moons are expected in January and March 2037.
