So . .. this Friday will be your last opportunity to see a blue moon until 2015. The last time we saw one (in the United States, anyhow) was December 2009.
Are you psyched? Are you ready?
Do you even know whether or not the blasted thing IS blue?
For the curious, the confused, or the incurably geeky, Smithsonian.com has a useful Surprising Science article here. I learned a lot from it, but the most fascinating bit of info (for me) was how this sort of moon got to be called blue in the first place.
A possibly helpful article for poets, haijin, & writers of werewolf fiction.
