Did You Know

 

Did you know, a blue moon is a full moon with a bluish tint? It also refers to two full moons in a month and/or to the third full moon when there're four full moons in a season. And last but not least, to something rare. Whew.

I've seen blue moons but I've never seen a moon that is blue. Not even a slight tint.

CJ Kennedy said...

Yup, knew that. It's also one of my favorite songs. Blue Moon by the Marcels (1961) Enjoy your day!

I did know it was for two full moons. I didn't know there could be three! Wow.

Birgit said...

I wondered why it was called this and now I know. Now I need to know about blood moon and the other moons. Well, I know about mooning and don’t need to know that.

Interesting didnt think there was actualy a bluish tint.

Interesting. I thought it was the second full moon of a month. The bluish tint explains the name!

Phew! I didn't know that about the 3rd of 4 moons in a season. Thank goodness the meerkats are keeping us well informed. :-D

I didn't realize there was actually a moon event when the moon had a bluish tint. Amazing.

I never fully understood what "once in a blue moon" refers to.

I think you'd need a high powered telescope to pick up on it.

Sandra Cox said...

I know. Right? It's very rare and has to do with atmospheric conditions.

Sandra Cox said...

I did know about the two full moon but didn't know there could be three or there would be a bluish tint. I have seen it red though :) xo

Sandra Cox said...

I love the moon too, J.P:)
Sending you a hug.

Sandra Cox said...

I'm with you. I've seen the red moon but never the blue.

Sandra Cox said...

It does, doesn't it? It's pretty rare.
