We won’t just have a full moon lighting up the sky tonight.
Instead, the glowing orb in the night sky on Wednesday, Aug. 30 will be what’s known as a “Super Blue Moon.”, the full moon will begin rising just after sunset tonight around 7:10 p.m. ET It will set on Thursday, Aug. 31 around 6:46 a.m. ET .
The term “Blue Moon” is given to either of two full moons occurring in the same calendar month – that’s the case in August – or the third full moon in a season that has four full moons.“The Moon’s cycle is 29.5 days, so just a bit shorter than the average length of a calendar 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.
