The celestial event, which is visible from Sunday to Wednesday morning, probably won’t happen again until 2037. A “blue” moon bears no connection to the color blue, and the moon won’t have a colorful tinge. Instead, a blue moon is used to describe what is effectively an additional full moon, one that violates the rule of thumb, that there is one full moon in a month, or three full moons in a season.

    Oh good, another story about the same moon looking the same way it has for a billion years… but this time it’s called a Hunter’s moon instead of a Mother’s moon or some meaningless shit. Supermoons happen literally 4 times a year. Blue Supermoons are 6% of all full moons, so they aren’t even all that special.
