❖ It is featured as a unique combination of a supermoon and a Blue Moon, making it an extraordinary celestial event.
❖ The term supermoon was introduced by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979.
❖ A supermoon occurs when a full or new Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth, known as perigee.
❖ This proximity makes the Moon appear larger and brighter than usual.
❖ The term “Blue Moon” has historically referred to the third full Moon in a season that has four full Moons, a relatively rare occurrence.
❖ The earliest recorded use of the term dates back to 1528.
❖ Only about 25% of full Moons are supermoons, and approximately 3% are Blue Moons.
❖ The next super Blue Moons are expected in January and March 2037.
