Description

The last Blue Super Moon until 2037.

I've made a 15-panel monochrome mosaic for luminance and a single panel imaged with a mirrorless camera for color channels.

A blue moon is not actually blue at all; that is simply the nickname that's given to the second full moon that occurs in a month, and the phenomenon does not happen often; just 3% of full moons are also blue moons, according to NASA. If you miss it, you’ll have to wait a while for the next one: the next blue supermoon will not occur until 2037.
