blue supermoon
once in a blue moon
isn’t blue
Last night’s moon was a blue supermoon, but it wasn’t blue! Here’s the scoop:
A blue moon means two full moons in a single month, though they rarely are really blue. A supermoon happens when it’s exceptionally close to the Earth. Last night it was 222,043 miles. Once in a blue moon means a rare but nonetheless recurring event. A blue supermoon occurs once in a blue moon, the next one expected in 2037.
Last night’s moon wasn’t blue but it was especially big and bright and beautiful—though my picture doesn’t do it justice. A shout out to Liz, who told me last night to go outside and check out the moon.🤗
