Blue super full moon
"The moon takes 27.3 days to orbit the Earth, but because of how the sun's light hits the celestial body, it takes 29.5 days to complete its lunar cycle from one new moon to the next. So it's rare for us on Earth to see two full moons in the span of a single month. When we do, we call it a "blue moon but it is a relatively rare occurrence, hence the saying “once in a blue moon”.
