If you are waiting on something that happens “once in a blue moon” look for it to happen today. And it will be the last time until 2015. (Or maybe not. It’s just a saying you know)
The moon is not actually blue. Blue moon just means the second full moon in the same month. It officially occurs this morning at 9:58am EDT.

There was a nice full moon I observed this morning, as I made my bleary-eyed way into work at about 6:45. I’m not ever going to volunteer to help first shift again.
