The Super Blue Moon is a celestial occurrence which combines two events, a supermoon, when the moon is closest to earth, and a blue moon - the third full moon in a season of four. Although this rare cosmic event usually happens once every 10 years, NASA said that there was a Super Blue Moon in August last year as well. IMAGES
