Luxembourg's skies have dazzled yet again, with a rare blue super moon following last week's Northern Lights and meteor shower, offering a celestial show that promises even more stunning sights in the coming months.
A mere week after Luxembourg's sky was lit up by the Northern Lights and a meteor shower in a single night, a blue supermoon made an appearance on Monday evening. The spectacle should still be visible into Tuesday night as the moon is particularly close to the Earth at the moment.
The supermoon reached its peak at 8.26pm on Monday. Although not actually blue, the moon is labelled as such given that it is the third of four full moons in a season and the second one in the span of a month. A relatively rare phenomenon that only occurs once every two to three years, the spectacle is also the origin of the idiom 'once in a blue moon'.
There is no need to worry should you have missed the sight, because this was only the first of four successive supermoons in the coming months. According to NASA, the ones in September and October promise to be even more spectacular as the moon will be even closer to Earth.
