“Blue Supermoon Beyond Syracuse” is copyrighted by Kevin Saragozza. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe August 2023 full moon was a 'Blue Moon,' meaning it was the second full moon in a calendar month. It was also a 'Supermoon,' appearing larger and brighter than usual because it was near its closest approach to Earth. This image captures the celestial event over the historic city of Syracuse, Italy, highlighting the moon's unusual double status.
