There's something about the sight of the Moon as a different color—and even more so the sight of its eclipsing the Sun—that really gets the human imagination going. And yet this coming week's "Blue Moon" won't actually be blue.
A term to describe the third full Moon in a season containing four, the full "Blue Sturgeon Moon" on Sunday, August 22, 2021 will be little different, visually speaking, from any other.

EarthSky | Young moon, Venus, Spica west after sunset on August 9 to 13
New moon was August 8, 2021. Perhaps you’ll catch the whisker-thin crescent moon and Venus after sunset on August 9. If you miss it August 9, try again on August 10, 11, 12 or 13. Just be sure to look soon after sunset because the moon will set soon after the sun.
Astronomers use the label young moon for a slim crescent in the west after sunset. It’s a waxing moon, with first quarter moon due August 15. And this month’s full moon, a seasonal Blue Moon , will be August 22.
NASA IG says 2024 moon landing won't happen, blames space suit delays - The Washington Post
But another reason the 2024 goal may not be met is that the spacesuits needed by the astronauts to walk on the lunar surface won't be ready in time and the total development program, which ultimately will produce just two flight-ready suits, could cost more than $1 billion.
NASA has been working on next-generation spacesuits, which act as mini spaceships that protect the astronauts from the vacuum of space, for 14 years, the IG said. In 2016, NASA decided to consolidate two spacesuit designs into a single program that it would oversee.
