(ABC 6 News) — On Monday night, a rare super blue moon was visible around the world, and with clear skies in Minnesota, people got a great chance to take it in.

A super moon happens when the moon is at or near its closest point to Earth while blue moons happen when two full moons occur within the same month.

NASA says that the combination happens about once every five years.
