#blue moon

3-for-1 lunar spectacle rises tonight with Super Blue Sturgeon Moon

Moonrise is at 7:10 p.m. today, so find a good spot to observe this extra special lunar event. After all, how often do we have this good of weather in East Hawai‘i to see the sky from sea level? The moon will be in the full phase for about 3 days, however, so if you miss tonight’s super action, you do have a little more time.

‘It’s always a good time to look at the moon,’ especially tonight’s super blue moon

About a quarter of all full moons are considered to be supermoons. Only 3% of full moons are blue moons, which occur about two and three years apart. It’s considerably less frequent that the two coincide.
