Limousin, France. August 20, 2024. Super Blue Moon (not necessarily perceived as blue) seen from the Limousin countryside late at night. The term "super Moon" was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 to refer to a full moon that occurs when the Moon is 90% of its closest approach to Earth. While the star is at an average distance of 384,400 km from Earth, it is located approximately 363,000 km from our planet. The Moon therefore appears 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual.
