Monday’s “super blue moon” pales in comparison to this summer’s flurry of major astronomical discoveries.
A man walking along the trail that leads to the Golden Gate Bridge is silhouetted by the rising Blue Sturgeon Supermoon as it appears in Marin County, Calif., on Monday, Aug. 19, 2024. But Monday’s much-hyped “super blue moon” isn’t one of them – at least not according to astronomers., according to NASA. We won’t see it — it’ll be on the other side of Earth. We’ll be bathed in sunshine.
And it’s not “blue.” Its color hasn’t changed. It’s gray and white, as always. The moon only seems to change color when a volcanic eruption, wildfires or pollution send heaps of particles into the air. But just like months sometimes squeeze in an extra full moon, so do seasons. Instead of having just three full moons, this summer has tacked on a fourth.
