Stargazers will witness a rare and breathtaking celestial sight Monday evening as a Blue Supermoon lights up the sky.The eighth full Moon of the year will be at its brightest at 2:25 p.m. EDT. However, people in North America will have to wait until the Sun sets and the Moon rises to see the phenomenon. It occurs when the Moon is at perigee, its closest distance to the Earth, and it appears larger and brighter than usual.
The Maine Farmer's Almanac began publishing Native American names for full Moons in the 1930s and these names have become widely known and used, according to retired NASA Program Executive Gordon Johnston. Monday's event is widely known as the Sturgeon Moon.
