The super blue moon rises on Aug. 31

Clickbait headline:
NEW! Super Moon now with 2-8% more Moon! don’t miss out!
NASA:
It’s still blue, tho, right?
It’s not actually blue. If there are two full moons in the same calendar month, the second full moon is referred to as “blue”. It will be the same color it always is.
It would be a helluva lot cooler if it actually was blue, but alas…
My whole life has been a lie… 😩
Don’t worry if you miss it though. A super blue moon doesn’t look any different than any other supermoon and there are usually three per year.
And any “super moon” looks exactly like a slightly larger full moon, which happens every month.
It’s silly how this term became such an exciting headline.
The “14 years” part of the headline is particularly annoying. This thing that happens several times a year will happen the second time this month next week! It’s like a headline about getting three paychecks in a month and how it won’t happen again for six months. Technically true, but it’s still a regular paycheck.
