Today is the Blue Moon -- in this case the second full moon inside a calendar month. The more traditional blue moon is the 4th full moon in a single season, but this one is good, too.

And it will shine down on all those as they enjoy Hayley's performances at Herodes Atticicus tonight. I'm sure it will be fanrtastic.

WOW! Thanks Libby. It is grey and raining here, we won't see the blue moon at all!

I saw it! I've still been seeing the moon, although it's no longer full. It's a quarter moon of some sort, I guess. Obviously I'm no lunar expert.  |

Hello Libby!  The moon was in conjunction with Jupiter just before sunrise this morning. Venus was also very prominent in the east.  Richard  |

Sunrise? That's early isn't it? Just checked my website 6.28am here. That's well before I got op at 10am.

Where does the expression "blue moon" come from anyway?

Yeah, I've been wondering that, too. It certainly didn't look blue. |
