Super Blue Moon 8/19

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A super blue moon will be visible in Indiana Sunday and Monday night.

And no, the moon won’t appear in the color blue (unfortunately).

A seasonal blue moon refers to the third of four full moons in a single season. This will be the case with our full moon Sunday night and Monday night.

Meanwhile, a monthly blue moon is when two full moons are in the same month. In this scenario, the second full moon of the month is considered a blue moon.

Moonrise on Monday in Indianapolis will be at 8:55 PM. This supermoon will be one of four in a row over the next few months. However, NASA says , our next super blue moon won’t be until 2037.

Sky cover in central Indiana

Cloud cover may be tricky Sunday night with a system finally moving out of our area. Regardless, Monday night is looking fantastic for viewing with mostly clear skies firmly in place.
