Tonight is a once in a blue moon night.................. the saying was coined to mark the very few occasions when there are 2 full moons in a month and tonight is the 2nd Full Moon of December 2009. The moon has just risen here at 16:25UTC and looks spectacular in the clear night sky. It would have been an even rarer occurrence had not only the full moon been rising but at the same time the sun had been exactly in opposition (setting at the same time as the moon rose) 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim just found this

The term "blue moon" traditionally referred to an extra moon in a season: if a season had four full moons (rather than the more common three), then the third of the four moons was known as a blue moon. A season in this sense begins not with the months as in the table above, but with the solstices and equinoxes.

A mistaken definition, that the second full moon in a calendar month is known as a blue moon, became common in parts of the U.S. during the second half of the twentieth century due to a misinterpretation of the Maine Farmers' Almanac in the March 1946 Sky & Telescope magazine; this was corrected in 1999.[13]

Since there are 12.37 full moons in a year, a "blue moon" must occur on the average every 2.7 years, by either definition.
