This “blue supermoon” will be visible all around the globe, according to NASA.

In astronomy, the term “supermoon” is used to define a moon that is at its perigee, its closest point to Earth, while being full, which makes it larger and brighter than normal. .

The term “blue moon” is used to designate the second full moon in the same month.

About 25% of moons are supermoons, but only 3% of moons are blue, so “blue supermoons” occur on average once every decade.

The next time such an event will occur will be in January 2037.
