The last super blue moon occurred on the night of August 30–31, 2023.

Quick Scoop 🌕

  • A supermoon is a full moon that happens when the Moon is closer to Earth than usual, so it looks slightly bigger and brighter.
  • A blue moon is most commonly the second full moon in a single calendar month.
  • When those two line up in the same full moon, you get a super blue moon —a rare combo.

When was the last one?

  • The most recent super blue moon rose on the evening of August 30, 2023 , reaching its exact full phase around the early hours of August 31, 2023 (UTC).
  • It was widely described as the last super blue moon until the 2030s , because the next such events are not expected again until 2037 , depending on which exact definition of “blue moon” you use.

What’s next after that?

  • Under the monthly blue moon definition (second full moon in a month), the next super blue moon is projected for January 31, 2037.
  • Under the seasonal blue moon definition (third full moon in a season with four full moons), a super blue moon occurs on August 19, 2024 , but that one is sometimes counted differently in popular lists.

So if you’re asking “when was the last super blue moon we already had?”, the answer is August 30–31, 2023.
