Our Not-So-Blue Moon


What we call a blue moon is a full moon occurring twice in the same month. It may or may not be blue but it's fairly rare. The one that shone tonight is the last one until January 2018, so it happens "once in a blue moon."

The first full moon of this month looked bluer. It also made a more interesting image because there were clouds that night (July 1).
