NDTV
A blue moon is special because it is the extra moon in a season with four full moons.
Skygazers will be in for treat on Wednesday (August 30) since they will get to see a supermoon, one of the largest and brightest moon of 2023. A supermoon is called so because the moon appears significantly large in the sky since it is the closest to Earth at a time when it is full. Tomorrow, the moon will be 357,244 km from the Earth. It is also to be noted that this particular full moon will be the second to occur in the month of August, after the first one on August 1. As a result, it will be called a blue moon.
So ideally, what we'll have will be a "super blue moon".
The occasion is special because a blue moon is associated with something rare. We often use the phrase "once in a blue moon". Similarly, a blue moon is special because it is the extra moon in a season with four full moons.
