It's being referred to as a Blue Supermoon and will light up Earth more than usual.Credit: GettyUnfortunately, the Moon won't actually be blue.The term refers to the rarity of the event, not what it looks like.: "A blue moon is the term for when we see the full moon twice in a single month."Eventually that gap results in a full moon happening at the beginning of a month with enough days still remaining for another full cycle ― so a second full moon in the same month.
A blue Moon happens every two to three years, hence the phrase once in a blue Moon describing something that doesn't happen that often.
