For the first time in almost twenty years, there's going to be a Blue Moon on New Year's Eve.
…Don't expect the Moon to actually turn blue, though. “The 'Blue Moon' is a creature of folklore,” explains [professor Philip Hiscock of the Dept. of Folklore at the Memorial University of Newfoundland]. “It's the second full Moon in a calendar month.” (NASA).
