That\u2019s when it looks its most dramatic \u2014 larger than usual and tinted orange. This is the second full moon in a single calendar month, a simple quirk of timing rather than color, but it creates one of the most visually rewarding naked eye sights in the night sky. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=197\">Only A Few Acts Remain In Trump\u2019s \u2018Great American State Fair\u2019\u2014And 1 Isn\u2019t Talking<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What Is A \u2018blue Moon?\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s called a Blue Moon because it\u2019s the second full moon in the same calendar month, the first being the full Flower Moon on May 1. The moon takes 29.5 days to orbit Earth and return to the same position in the night sky, causing two full moons in the same month roughly every 2.5 years. The next monthly Blue Moon, like this one, will take place on Dec. 31, 2028.<\/p>\n<h2>Why The \u2018blue Moon\u2019 Looks Golden<\/h2>\n<p>A Blue Moon has nothing to do with color. When a full moon rises, it typically glows orange or deep amber. That\u2019s because its light must travel through a thicker layer of atmosphere near the horizon. Earth\u2019s atmosphere scatters shorter blue wavelengths more efficiently, allowing warmer red and orange tones to dominate \u2014 the same effect that produces vivid sunsets.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=195\">Trump\u2019s Plans For An Ebola Quarantine Center In Kenya Shot Down\u2014For Now (Live Updates)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The times and dates given apply to mid-northern latitudes.
