Despite the name, the blue moon will not actually appear in blue. In fact, a blue moon does not seem to be different than a regular, monthly full moon.
NASA reports that a blue moon usually occurs every two and a half to three years. The last blue moon was seen on March 31, 2018.
The term blue moon has been used to describe the second full moon in a calendar month since the 1940s. It inspires the phrase "Once upon a time on the blue moon ..."
In recent years, people have been using the term "blue moon" to refer to other types of moons.
The term can also describe a third of the four full moons in a single season - between Saltisis and Echinox. It is called the seasonal blue moon.
