When you hear the term "Blue Moon," you might imagine a moon painted in hues of azure, but in reality, it has nothing to do with colour. Since the 1940s, "Blue Moon" has referred to the rare phenomenon of having a second full moon in a single calendar month. This August 2024, we are graced with a Blue Moon as we witness the second full moon of the month.

Super Blue Moon: What's the big deal

There's some exciting news for all you budding astronomers - there's a full Moon coming later this month. But this full Moon is particularly special as it's a blue Supermoon.

It’s been a long time coming and a few false starts, but this morning, the opening date for Sydney Metro – the superfast transport system set to transform the way we travel across the city – has been properly confirmed.

I don't know about you, but where I'm at... it's still sooooo hot. The country as a whole has been under a huge heat wave this past week and today is no exception!
