Blue moon tonight! The moon will be full tonight but this isn't your normal full moon!
It's a Super Blue moon.
You hear about this type of moon from time to time but what does it mean? Let's break it down because this event is actually quite rare.
SUPER MOON
The moon orbits the Earth but not in a perfect circle. There are times when the moon is farther away in the elliptical orbit called apogee. At that point, it's 253,000 miles away. But on the opposite end of the orbit when it's closest to Earth, called perigee, the moon is around 226,000 miles away.
It will look up to 14% larger and 30% brighter! Enjoy
