"While it may be called a super 'blue' moon, that does not mean it appears blue. It means a supermoon experience will coincide with a blue moon experience. The Moon is closer than usual to Earth."
"A full moon is always impressive and when that moon is maybe a little bit bigger that just adds to the excitement," said Stanford research scientist Dan Wilkins.
"Whenever people ask me how they can get started with star gazing one of the things I will always say, it sounds really simple, is start looking at the moon," said Wilkins.
"It appears about 14 percent larger when it's near perigee so it looks bigger in the sky and that's what we call a supermoon," said Chabot Space and Science Center's Gerald McKeegan.
