To see a super blue moon, one should find a location with a clear night sky during the event. The super blue moon is a rare phenomenon where a full moon is both a supermoon (at its closest approach to Earth, appearing larger and brighter) and a blue moon (the second full moon in a calendar month or the third of four full moons in a season). Key tips to see the super blue moon:

• Look for the moon as it rises in the east or sets in the west. The moon looks bigger near the horizon due to the "moon illusion."
• The moon stays fully illuminated for about three days around the peak, so you have multiple nights to observe it.
• Use binoculars or a telescope to observe details like craters and mountain ridges on the moon.
• Check local moonrise and moonset times for the best viewing time in your area.
• The super blue moon often appears no different in color than a regular moon, despite the name "blue."

The next super blue moon after August 2024's rare event will not occur until May 31, 2026. In 2025, there are supermoons but no super blue moons. In summary, to see the super blue moon:

• Watch on the night of the event close to moonrise or moonset.
• Find a dark location with clear skies.
• Use binoculars or a telescope for a detailed view.
• Check exact local times to catch the moon at its best.
