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.
