Las Vegas time.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The August 31 Blue Moon will not be blue in color.  This August 2012 Blue Moon will be called Blue because it is the second full moon of a month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The following article is from <strong>Earthsky.Org<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to modern folklore, a Blue Moon is the second full moon of a calendar month. Learn how this name came to be, in this post.  The next Blue Moon is August 31, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>August 2012 is a month with two full moons. And, by popular acclaim, that means it\u2019s a Blue Moon month \u2013 but it\u2019s Blue in name only. That\u2019s because a Blue Moon is sometimes defined as the second full moon in a calendar month. The first full moon is August 1. The second full moon is August 31, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s very rare that you would see a blue-colored moon, although unusual sky conditions \u2013 certain-sized particles of dust or smoke \u2013 can create them. Blue-colored moons aren\u2019t predictable. [So don\u2019t be misled by the photo above.] The sorts of moons people commonly call Blue Moons aren\u2019t usually blue. For more about truly blue-colored moons, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spaceweather.com\/glossary\/bluemoonstories.html\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now on to folklore\u2019s Blue Moons. Every month typically has a full moon (although sometimes February doesn\u2019t). In fact, our word for \u201cmonth\u201d comes from the word \u201cmoon.\u201d Most of the time, the names for full moons coincide with particular months or seasons of the year. So whether you define a Blue Moon as the second full moon in a month \u2013 or the third full moon of four in a season \u2013 the name Blue Moon accounts for times when there are more full moons than is ordinary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blue moon as second full moon in a month<\/strong>.[sic] In recent decades, many people have begun using the name Blue Moon to describe the second full moon of a calendar month.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are two more definitions for Blue Moon. It can be the third of four full moons in a single season. Or, someday, you might see an actual blue-colored moon.&#8221;  <a href=\"http:\/\/earthsky.org\/astronomy-essentials\/when-is-the-next-blue-moon\">read more from Earthsky.Org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From LasVegasBuffetClub.Com:<br \/>\n&#8220;<strong>Blue Moon<\/strong>&#8221; is a classic popular song.
