Blue Moon
A "blue moon" refers to the rare occurrence of two full moons appearing within the same calendar month. This celestial event typically happens every 2 to 3 years, making it a relatively uncommon phenomenon. Despite its name, a blue moon rarely actually looks blue in color. Instead, the term "blue" is believed to originate from older definitions of the word, meaning "rare" or "unusual." During a blue moon, the moon appears full and round, illuminating the night sky with its soft, silver glow. People around the world often view this event with awe and fascination, considering it a special and magical occurrence in the realm of astronomy.
