We’ll have a Blue Moon this weekend


Our last Blue Moon came on the night of Halloween 2020. That night, the Blue Moon was near red Mars. But that full moon - like most Blue Moons - was blue in name only. We called it a Blue Moon because it was the 2nd of 2 full moons in a calendar month. Now another sort of Blue Moon is coming up. It's a seasonal Blue Moon, the 3rd of 4 full moons in a season (the time between a solstice and an equinox). The upcoming Blue Moon will crest on August 21-22, 2021. And, by lucky coincidence, the moon will be near planets again, this time Jupiter and Saturn. Read more about seasonal Blue Moons.
