RARE BLUE MOON

A rare blue moon will be visible from Kansas starting today, and it will appear bigger and brighter than a typical full moon.

The sturgeon moon, which is both a blue moon and a supermoon , technically will become full at 1:26 p.m. today, according to NASA. However, the best time to see it will be around 8:30 p.m., when the moon rises here.

The moon will appear full until early Wednesday morning.

A supermoon is defined as either a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth, NASA says, making supermoons are the “biggest and brightest” full moons of the year.
