A supermoon is when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit and about 14 percent brighter and 30 percent larger than usual. The second full moon of the month is commonly known as a “blue moon.”
The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a “blood moon.”
