If you're not doing anything tonight, you should
head outside or get yourself to a window so you can see it for yourself.
The last Blue Moon that we'll see until 2015 is
up in the sky until Wednesday morning. It's not really blue. The phrase
"blue moon" usually refers to a rare second full moon in a month.
This kind of moon appears only once every three years, according to the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
On social media, amateur and professional
photographers took advantage of the clear night and snapped and shared photos
of the pristine moon against a navy sky. The buzz came from news organizations
to every day people to folks like actor John Cusack, who retweeted a photo of
the Blue Moon.
People had jokes too, tweeting photos of Belgian
White Blue Moon ale and video of 1961's "Blue Moon" by The Marcels.
