Once in a Blue Moon in August

The term Blue Moon refers to the second full moon in a single calendar month. The first full moon was on 2nd Aug 2012 The second full moon will occur tomorrow the Friday, 31st Aug 2012, a rare spectrum happening once in 3 years. Doesn't mean the moon is blue it would be the normal FULL MOON. 

However, as per NASA's email alert I received earlier this morning I thought of writing it down here what I knew. It could be either Blue Full Moon or the normal lighter red Full Moon which occurs only once in a blue moon. 

With the caveat in mind, A True Blue-Moon can happen with a rare disaster. As a catastrophic result of forest fire or volcanic eruption which could throw plumes of smoke where the atmosphere could get more aerosols which scatters blue light can cause the Moon turn blue..   sounds absurd? This also can happen once in a blue moon, indeed..!

As a matter of scientific fact; the SKY remains blue and the RED BALL 'sun' spurns from yellow to red - The pattern of color spectrum and its scattering wavelengths forms so.

During sunrise and sunset Blue and associated spectrum of colors are scattered by the molecules in the atmosphere more than the visible red light which has a wavelength (lambda) of 650 nanometer.

So the lambda of colors and the aerosol scattering affect makes the natural formation of scenery..! its all about, 'once in a Blue Moon' twin sister of 'Harvest Moon' or the 'Wine Moon' AND cousins of 'Wolf Moon, 'Snow Moon', 'Worm Moon', 'Pink Moon', 'Flower Moon',  'Strawberry Moon', 'Buck Moon', 'Sturgeon Moon', 'Hunters Moon', 'Beaver Moon' and 'Cold Moon'.

Send me the pictures whoever grabs the best FULL MOON. Good Luck..!
