Stargazers will also get to experience a blue moon — and no, the moon will not be blue.
According to NASA, a blue moon is the term for when we see the full moon twice in a single month. A blue moon happens once every two or three years on average, but a blue moon that’s also a supermoon is uncommon.
The next super blue moons will occur in a pair, in January and March 2037, according to NASA.
We will also have what’s called a sturgeon moon, which is the Native American name for August’s full moon.
