Forget 'once in a blue moon.' Try 'once in a super blue moon,' which is set to rise this Wednesday.
You’ve probably heard about August’s “super blue moon” by now. It’s set to rise later this week on the evening of Wednesday, August 30, and there’s been a lot of hype around it due to how rare super blue moons are . Rather, the “blue” part of the title simply means it’s the second full moon in a single month.
So why all the media hype around it? Edson isn’t exactly sure, though she’s nonetheless pleased people are excited about the night sky. “Any opportunity for people to observe and appreciate the Moon is a good one,” writes Edson. “ If you’re hoping to see a moon that looks extra large, Edson recommends viewing the moon when it’s still near the horizon, rather than when it’s high in the night sky. Thanks to a phenomenon called “,” she says the moon appears bigger around this time. “It’s mostly due to our brains comparing it with the objects on the horizon,” writes Edson.
