Watch for this weekend's supermoon

The December 3 full moon will be 2017's 1st, last and only full supermoon. What that means. How to view it online.

What is a supermoon?

By at least 1 definition, the year 2017 has had 4 supermoons. But 3 were new moons and not visible in our sky. 

When is the next Blue Moon?

Blue-colored moons are rare. But folklore has defined 2 other sorts of Blue Moons, which are more commonly seen. The next one will be on January 31, 2018. 

Bright moon and aurora borealis

Does a bright moon means you can't see the northern lights? No. Here's awesome proof that, for photographers at least, moonlight can enhance the view.
