This phrase refers to the fact that two full Moons in one month is quite a rare occurence: the next time this will happen is in August next year. The 'super' tag acknowledges that the Moon (having a slightly eccentric orbit) happens to appear a little larger in the sky at the moment. The Moon only looks blue under certain atmospheric conditions - after a forest fire or eruption - so those photographs elsewhere online have been photoshopped to give them a blue tinge: mine below are the actual colour!
Just above the Moon was Saturn, the second largest planet. Even with my 300mm prime lens, its rings were plainly visible. To add to the planetary theme: Venus rose half an hour before sunrise and was incredibly bright in the dawn sky.
