A term coined by astrologer Richar Nolle in 1979, a supermoon occurs when a full or new moon is at its closest point to Earth, making it look much larger and brighter. Though it is called the 'blue supermoon,' the moon won’t actually look/be blue. A '<EM>blue moon</EM>' is what <EM>happens when there’s a second full moon occurring within the same month</EM>. For this occasion, i<SPAN>t's not just any blue moon, it's a <EM>rare</EM> blue supermoon.</SPAN></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So...say 'Hello!' to everyone's favorite idiom: 'o<SPAN>nce in a blue moon</SPAN>,' as it will actually come to life tonight! Gather some friends and look to the sky, because the next 'blue supermoon' will not occur again until January, 2037.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Time zones for viewing are: 9:36PM/21:36 EDT, 8:36PM/20:36 CDT, 7:36PM/19:36 MDT, and/or 6:36PM/18:36 PDT. Weather permitting.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P class=""><STRONG>One note of caution: This moon could bring an elevated risk for flooding</STRONG></P><P>Those looking to observe the moon from a beach should consider checking conditions first.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><UL class="lia-list-style-type-square"><LI><A href="https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-august" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sturgeon Full Moon and Blue Moon: August 2023</A>&nbsp;[<A href="https://www.almanac.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.almanac.com/</A>]</LI><LI><A href="https://www.npr.org/2023/08/29/1196637207/blue-super-moon-wednesday-what-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It's big!
