When will the giant blue moon of 2023 appear?

The next full moon will rise on Wednesday, August 30, and it will be one of the brightest and largest moons in 2023.

The term “blue moon” has nothing to do with color, but since the 1940s it has most commonly referred to the second of two full moons that fall in a single calendar month; Thus, Wednesday’s full moon is identified as a blue moon because it is the second full moon of August. Just like the first full moon in August, which is the sturgeon moon on August 1, the blue moon will also be a super moon, which means that it will occur during a period when the moon is closest to Earth, making it appear imperceptibly larger in the sky.
