The upcoming super blue moon, appearing Monday, will be both a supermoon and a blue moon due to its proximity to Earth and its seasonal timing.
Despite the intriguing name, NASA clarifies that a super blue moon will not exhibit a visible blue hue; its significance lies in its rare occurrence.
Monday's super blue moon marks the beginning of four consecutive supermoons, important astronomical events happening every decade with various phases of brightness and size.
This occurrence coincides with a lunar standstill, an event that happens once every 18.6 years, marking the moon's most extreme orbit.
