BLUE MOON

   Tomorrow there will be a blue moon, the second full moon in a month.   They occur about every 2.7 years, the next will be July 20, 2007.   A real blue moon occurs when fine particles of dust, smoke or droplets in the atmosphere scatter all but the blue wavelength of sunlight reflecting off the moon.    This is usually caused by volcanic eruptions, clouds,or forest fires  which makes the moon appear blue.    I also enjoy a BLUE MOON by Coors every once in a while!   I started working at MEIJERS on the 28th training  and will start night stocking in general merchandise at 11pm Saturday.  The term blue moon only began in 1946 when a reporter for Sky & Telescope misread an article in the Maine Farmers' Almanac about 13 full moons in a year.   There is also a blind moon which is a month without a full moon, the next in February 2018.
