Blue Moon: Saturday Will Be Year's Second

Blue moon 2018

Blue moon 2018

Some may call it just another full moon but this Blue Full Moon is especially rare. There's a second full moon on the last day of the month.

Despite the name, the blue moon won't be cobalt-colored, or any shade of blue for that matter. According to The Weather Channel, Saturday's full moon will peak at (or around, depending on your location) 8:37 AM ET. Probably.so we'll skip that this time around and just say that those with an eye (or two) to the sky will have a chance to witness the final blue moon of the year this weekend.

The term "once in a blue moon" was coined to describe the fact that while not rare, they don't happen that often. As blue moons typically occur once every two to three years, we will not see another one until Halloween night on October 31, 2020.

When blue moons do occur twice in a year, it is usually in January and March because of February being 28 days.

And, if you want to go ahead and mark your calendars even further aheaed, TimeAndDate.com has a few other blue moon combinations for you to keep in mind. The next time is in 2048 while the previous time was in 1934. But two blue moons in a year is actually very rare.
