Supermoon
A supermoon rises behind a downtown office building in Kansas City, Missouri, on April 7, 2020.
  • A blue supermoon will rise on Wednesday, August 30.
  • It won't actually look blue, but it will be the brightest moon this year.
  • A somewhat rare occurrence, the next blue supermoon won't appear until 2037.

On Wednesday, a full, luminous moon will appear in the sky. While experts debate the exact definition of a supermoon, this last full moon of the summer meets all the criteria.
