Ok,so:There are no more blue moons this year. (2024 has one blue moon by either definition)This supermoon was also a blue moon given the definition that it is the third of four full moons occurring during a single season.Hmm, how are both of those statements true?This supermoon is particularly unusual in that it is the first of four successive supermoons
Summer has four full moons, two are super moons (one is the seasonal blue moon) and Fall has three full moons, two are super.
Nothing about these four consecutive super moons conflicts with a seasonal blue moon (3rd of 4 full moons).
FYI, 2025 has no blue moons by either definition.
[ - - F1 F2 - - FSM3 - F4 - - - ] : where all the Full moons are within this single depicted bracketed season, the dashes are other moon phases, and FSM3 is the first of 4 successive supermoons that may well extend into following seasons.
Or something like that.
