Stargazers and astronomy fans are in for a treat this August as a rare super blue moon graces the night sky. A supermoon blue moon is a combination of two different lunar events. This happens when the moon’s elliptical path brings it very close to Earth. It looks bigger and brighter than usual. Contrary to its name, a Blue Moon doesn’t appear blue. Instead, it refers to the third full moon in a season with four full moons, which is relatively rare.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett.
