Blue Moon coming

For those interested, on Wednesday 31st of this month, we have a Full Moon and it will be a Blue Moon, meaning it is the second full moon in one calendar month. I believe the last one was sometime in 2015.
There is also a Total Lunar Eclipse.

I hope it's a nice clear night.

That's interesting Mups, I have never bothered to find out what a Blue Moon meant.

Re: Blue Moon coming

I have read that the January Blue Moon will be an "almost" supermoon and in other parts of the world will be red .....

Re: Blue Moon coming

My photography club is planning a trip to Newcastle Quayside to plan an night time shoot as we have the large moon and high tide we should get some interesting reflection shots.

Is a supermoon when it appears at its biggest?
