Blue Moon Rarity Explained
Description
This Blue Moon isn’t actually blue—it’s rare because it’s the 13th full moon in a year, and this one’s also a micromoon, appearing slightly smaller as it’s farthest from Earth. While the moon peaked early Sunday morning, UK viewers had best chances Saturday or Sunday night, with clearer skies in the east and showers lingering in the west. The phrase “once in a Blue Moon” traces back to its rarity, though true blue moons were caused by volcanic ash—like after Krakatoa in 1883. It’s a cosmic reminder of the rhythms shaping our world, even our language.
