SUMMARY

A super blue moon will peak on August 19, making it an exciting event for sky-gazers. This rare occurrence combines a supermoon, which appears larger and brighter, and a blue moon, which happens infrequently. The last super blue moon occurred in 2023, with the next ones in 2037. Supermoons are visible without special equipment and can be enjoyed even if the skies are cloudy in the days surrounding the peak. This month, Jupiter and Mars will also be visible in the sky.

Keep an eye out for more supermoons on September 18, October 17, and November 15.
