🌕 This morning, August 19, 2024, the Blue Full Moon, a magnificent Supermoon, set over Santa Monica Pier, creating a mesmerizing scene.
A Blue Moon refers to the rare occurrence of a second full moon within a single calendar month. Despite its name, the moon doesn’t actually appear blue. The term "Blue Moon" is more of a figure of speech, signifying something that happens infrequently.
This particular Blue Moon is also a Supermoon, which means it’s closer to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. This celestial event is especially captivating, as it combines both the rarity of a Blue Moon and the enhanced visibility of a Supermoon.
