Blue Moon July 31, 2015
There are two definitions of a Blue Moon in astronomy; both are a type of full moon. If the moon actually looks blue, it's caused by a rare type of dust in the atmosphere.
The term 'once in a blue Moon' means that that something is very rare. But just how rare, depends on your definition.
In astronomy, a Blue Moon is a full Moon, which doesn't quite fit in with the months in our calendar. However, there are two completely different ways of calculating which full Moon is a Blue Moon.
Blue Moon: The Full Explanation
Two definitions
- Blue Moon = The third full Moon in an astronomical season with 4 full Moons (versus the normal 3)
- Blue Moon = The second full Moon in a month with two full Moons.
Defining the Original Blue Moon
The correct, original definition is that a Blue Moon is the third full Moon in an astronomical season with four full Moons. A normal year has four astronomical seasons - spring, summer, fall (autumn), and winter - with three months and normally three full Moons each.
When one of the astronomical seasons has four full Moons, instead of the normal three, the third full Moon is called a Blue Moon
This is a cool version of the famous song BLUE MOON. Enjoy!!!
