The last Super Blue Moon until 2037 rises Aug. 30. Here’s how to see it | Space

August is almost over, but it still has a rare event to deliver to skywatchers in the form of a second full moon. 

The full moon that rises on Wednesday, Aug. 30, will be a special one too, the unification of a supermoon and a Blue Moon, a “Super Blue Moon.” The moon won’t appear particularly blue at this time, however. The term “Blue Moon” has nothing to do with color, instead referring to either two moons occurring in the same calendar month (as in this case), or the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. A supermoon, meanwhile, refers to a full moon that occurs when the moon is closer to Earth in its orbit, resulting in a slightly larger and brighter appearance.

One thing about Jamul, we get great moonrises. I will be out witnessing this somewhat unusual event about 10, then I will go to bed.
