A super blue moon will light up the sky tonight and tomorrow night.

It’s called a ‘blue’ moon, not because of its colour, but because its the second full moon inside a calendar month.

A super moon is labelled this way because it’s closer to Earth than normal – the distance can fluctuate by up to 15 per cent.

Astronomy Ireland says the best time to see it will be as the sun sets.
