The moon looks yellow because it's low on the horizon, and the Earth's atmosphere scatters the light. This scattering lets the red and yellow light through, making the moon appear yellow.

August full moon is special because it's a "blue moon," the third full moon in a season with four full moons, according to NASA.

I hope this answers your question. I miss my Astronomy classes. I also want to take photos of the moon. Gotta capture it #withGalaxy πŸ˜‰
