The names are the traditional North American ones, which follow the Northern Hemisphere seasons. The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the September equinox, and the Hunter's Moon is the next one.
We call it a supermoon when a full moon falls within about a day and a half of a perigee (the point of the orbit closest to Earth) under 225,000 miles (362,000 km): it looks slightly bigger and brighter. That's a strict definition, since there is no official one and every list uses its own. Under the broader 90% rule that NASA uses (a full moon at least 90% of the way to perigee), 2029 has 5 supermoons, adding the full moons of January 30 and May 27. A micromoon is the opposite: near an apogee beyond 251,700 miles (405,000 km). Why lists count differently
A blue moon is the second full moon in the same calendar month (using UTC dates). It doesn't change color.
