Blue Moon

The Spit, Gold Coast

 

I had been thinking about getting a shot of the Milky Way over a life guard tower for a while and this particular weekend turned out to be the perfect time for it with the appearance of a second full moon for the month.

 

A full moon that rises twice in one month is called a blue moon. It happens because sometimes the number of days in a calendar month are greater than the cycle of the moon, which is 29.5 days. This means you can get a second full moon near the first and the last days of the same month. It is said that blue moons happen every 33 months or about every 3 years. This relatively rare occurrence has spawned the saying “once in a blue moon”.

 

Whenever the moon is this low in the sky we see it through a thick atmosphere which is what causes it to turn yellow, orange or red, just like the setting sun.
