Actually, that's not quite true. When I lived in London I did get to see the moon very early in its rising (or setting) phase. I often saw it when it was really big, including a couple of supermoons. :)

I hope I will be able to see it from my flat. I live in an inner city, but there is some space behind my building and I can see the sky and mostly the moon quite well. But for the 31, I will see if I can go to a better place.

Just a regular morning (as seen from my balcony)

I just remembered, it wasn't just your name - bluemoon - but also your lovely moon siggy that made me think you were naming yourself after the actual blue moon phenomenon.

Ohhh, I see! The siggy is from an art exhibition in one of our city churches where an artist put up a huge model of the moon ...

 
"The term "once in a blue moon" is an idiom used to describe a rare but nonetheless recurring event. But according to NASA, blue moons aren't actually all that rare, recurring every two and a half years or so.

A blue supermoon, however, happens far less frequently. According to the website Time and Date, the last blue supermoon was in December 2009, and the next one won't be until August 2032.

This year's blue supermoon will peak at 9:36 p.m. ET on Aug. 30, Farmer's Almanac says, but you can use its moonrise calculator to see when the blue supermoon will be visible in your area.

The end-of-August supermoon will be the biggest and brightest of 2023 because the moon will be "exceptionally close" to Earth at 222,043 miles, according to Farmer's Almanac, nearly 17,000 miles closer than average."
