The Blue Moon in 2023 occurred on August 30-31. This was a special event where the full moon in August was not only a Blue Moon (the second full moon within the month) but also a supermoon, meaning the moon was at or near its closest point to Earth, making it appear bigger and brighter than usual. The exact moment of the full Blue Moon was at 9:36 p.m. EDT on August 30, 2023.
