Many people, including Chicago's astronomers and sky watchers, will be looking up for Wednesday night's blue super moon.
Joe Guzman, known by some as Astro Joe, has more than a dozen telescopes, each with its own purpose. This evening, they will help him grab a glimpse of a rare blue super moon.
Michelle Nichols, director of public observing at the Adler Planetarium, said the "blue" part refers to it being the second full moon happening in a calendar month. It's the "super" aspect, she said, that may make it appear more impressive than normal. According to NASA, when the moon is closest to the Earth, which is a super moon, it appears 14% larger than when it's farthest from the Earth. That's about the difference in size between a quarter and a nickel."We can see it. It's easy to pick out. You can see it in the day time. You can see it at night. It's always there," Nichols said.
