'Once in a Blue Moon': Here's how you can witness the rare celestial event today

Skygazers are in for a treat as a rare celestial event called the ‘Blue Moon’ will grace the night sky today. Today, the moon will be the brightest and largest. It is also the only time it will be the closest to Earth.

The term ‘Blue Moon’ does not describe the moon’s colour. It instead refers to two full moon occurrences in a single month. The first full moon occurred on August 1.

The event occurs “once in a blue moon”, meaning it is rare and special.
