What is Blue Supermoon?
New Moon, Full Moon, Super Moon and Blue Moon are visible due to astronomical events occurring in space. The blue moon that appears every 2 or 3 years is slightly larger in size and its color also looks different. When two full moons appear in a month, then the second full moon is considered as Blue Moon. The last time Blue Moon was seen in 2018. Understand in Assamese language, if there are more than two full moons in a single month, then this year will be called Moon Year. According to NASA, the moon appears brighter than normal days and such a phenomenon occurs only when the moon is full and its orbit is closest to Earth.
Generally, Blue Moon comes only every two or three years. 2018 had two Blue Moons in one year and a lunar eclipse just two months apart. The next time we will see two Blue Moons in a year will be in 2037.
