The term “supermoon” refers to as either a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth. Although it does not look blue, as the 3rd full moon in a season with 4 full moons, this is also a Blue Moon. Not to mention the exaggerated colors that show presence of minerals on the moon.” Thank you!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Kannan A shared this shot from Singapore, despite the cloudy skies.
