WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE FULL MOON?

Besides Supermoons, there are other versions of the full moons that you can see. There are Harvest moons, Blue moons, and Blood moons. Each of these moons got their names based on how they looked.

Harvest Moons - These moons are full moons that occur near the autumnal equinox.

Blue Moons - This moon is not based on color, but a Blue Moon is the second full moon of a month. This month's Supermoon on August 30th would also be considered a Blue Moon

Blood Moons - Blood moons happen when the Earth's moon is in a total lunar eclipse.
