Blue Moon is clearly different from Super Moon. Bluemoon occurs when the moon looks a bluish color. While Super Moon is when the moon appears 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than usual. Another lunar phenomenon namely Blood Moon which occurs when the earth passes between the moon and the sun causing a total lunar eclipse.
