We’ve seen some absolutely stunning images of moons in recent years, such as the Strawberry Moon in June that we saw earlier this year, 2024.
And now? It’s time to take a look at the so-called blue moon, a supermoon that appeared all over the world on Monday night. The blue moon isn’t actually blue, but it’s the nickname for the third full moon in a season, and it was a supermoon because the moon was so close to Earth. Got it?
That’s good. Because we have some beautiful pictures of the blue supermoon on Monday in August 2024. Here they are:
