Description:

The Blue Supermoon rising atop dusty polluted Tehran. Blue Supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth, known as perigee, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. The term "blue" refers to the rarity of the event, as it can denote the second full moon in a calendar month.
