The moon tonight will be especially bright over the Costa Del Sol.  Once in a blue moon (!) the phenomenon known as a “blue supermoon” happens.  This is when the moon is at the closest point to earth in it’s orbit.

Despite being called a blue supermoon, the moon won’t actually look blue.  Blue actually refers to the frequency of supermoons, tonight will be the second supermoon of August earning it the title “blue”.  Whilst a supermoon can be seen from the Costa Del Sol roughly every two years, the next blue supermoon (two supermoons in one month) won’t be seen until until January 2037.
