The Windy City is in for a treat as the next full moon graces the skies on Wednesday, Aug. 30, at 8:35 p.m. But hold on, this isn't just any ordinary full moon—it's a rare "blue moon" phenomenon, being the second full moon in the month of August. While it won't actually appear blue in color, this celestial event is a sight to behold. What's more, it's also a "supermoon," when the moon comes within 90% of its closest point to Earth, known as its "perigee." Brace yourself for an extraordinary spectacle as the Aug. 30 supermoon will be the closest to our planet's surface this year, approximately 222,043 miles away.
