A good explanation can be found here: Smithsonian Magazine Article

I had forgotten what it meant, but now I will remember!

I think we should have one every month. It would help my bottom line a lot.

I didn't look at your link, Gene, because I know a blue moon means two full moons in one month. I love full moons even though they ruin the stars. I like to be with someone male that I like when there's a full moon. Don't think it'll happen, though.

been so long, I do not recall the last time I spent a moon with anyone.. let alone 2...






blue moon.. you saw me standing alone.. without a dream in my heart.. without a love of my own...



course, I love the start, cause it's just too cool... Ladies and Gentlemen........ SHA Na Na ( and the crowd goes wild )

bom di di bom di bom di bom bom di di dang di di dang a ding a dong ding blue moon, blue blue moon,
blue blue blue blueeeee moon yip a dip a dip,
blue blue blue blue moon yip a dip a dip a ding a dong ding blue moon,.... ( or something like that... lol )

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for do wah wah wah

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhh

Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh



they just don't write lyrics like those....


though with this song, even if ya don't get'm right, it's a fun tune..

Blue Moons

It's impossible to have a blue moon in February as there are only 28 days. The exception is leap year. Does anyone know when the next blue moon will appear in February?

^ Not anytime soon.

"When was the last Blue Moon in February, and when will the next one be?

Don't hold your breath!

The lunar month is 29.53 days long. The largest number of days in February is 29.00000000 days. This means that even if the first Full Moon of February was at midnight on February 1 of a Leap Year, the very next Full Moon would be 0.5 x 24 = 12 hours after midnight on February 29, or in other words on the first day of March! The last time there was a Full Moon on February 1 was in 1980 at 2:22 UT. This was a Leap Year so the very next Full Moon happened on March 1 at 21:00 UT. The next time we get a Full Moon on February 1 will be in the year 2026 at 22:10, which is not a Leap Year. The Full Moon after that will happen on March 3 at 11:39."
