How to catch this week’s rare blue moon event ― that won’t happen again until 2028 - But don’t be disappointed if it’s not bright turquoise

A blue micromoon will make a rare appearance this weekend, offering skywatchers a sight they won't have a chance to witness again until the very end of 2028.

Despite the lore behind the blue color, this lunation is more likely to shine in warm amber and orange tones near the horizon thanks to the way Earth’s atmosphere scatters light during moonrise.
