A super moon will be visible in the sky tonightx (Image: Getty) Sky-watchers across the UK are in for a treat this week as a rare blue supermoon , also known as the Sturgeon Moon, graces the night sky. This celestial event, which occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its orbit, will appear significantly larger and brighter than your average full moon , making it a must-see spectacle . The blue supermoon will reach its full phase just before 7:30 pm on Monday, August 19, and will be visible across the UK as the sun sets and the sky darkens.

For those who miss this rare occurrence, it's worth noting that the next super blue moon won’t appear until 2037, making this an event you won’t want to miss. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
