Super Blue Moon is a rare celestial event and typically happens only once every two and a half years.
Skywatchers across the globe were enchanted by the captivating sight of the Super Blue Moon that illuminated the night sky on August 30 and the early morning of August 31. Contrary to its name, the moon did not appear blue. Instead, it was in a shade of orange. As the Super Blue Moon lit up the night sky yesterday, people flocked to X to share pictures of this rare, awe-inspiring sight.
A full moon graces skies every 29 days on average, but some months may have two full moons due to the varying number of days in a month. Blue moons, on the other hand, are a rare occurrence and typically happen only once every two and a half years. However, in 2018, skygazers were lucky enough to witness two blue moons two months apart, one of which was a lunar eclipse.
