The celestial event, which is visible from Sunday to Wednesday morning, probably won’t happen again until 2037. A “blue” moon bears no connection to the color blue, and the moon won’t have a colorful tinge. Instead, a blue moon is used to describe what is effectively an additional full moon, one that violates the rule of thumb, that there is one full moon in a month, or three full moons in a season.

    1. What? No. It means
    2. An extra and extended full moon is definitely perceptible.
    3. It being life itself.

    Can’t we just admire the skies? The moon is one of the things untouched by light pollution.

      A blue moon is just two full moons in a month. It really doesn’t mean anything.

          That’s fine, but it’s still basically meaningless. Months are entirely a human invention that don’t have any importance in the way the universe works.

              What meaning? The moon is on a 28 day cycle that regularly overlaps with a 30 day month cycle. There is no meaning behind that.

                It’s called blind faith. It’s how we survive. It’s how we create fun, man.

                  Blind faith in what, though? You keep throwing out meaningless sayings without actually saying anything. You say you find it cool, but not why you find it cool. You say it has meaning, but you don’t say what meaning. You say it’s called blind faith, but you don’t say blind faith in what.

                    You may as well ask why we like to lay down on the grass and watch the sunset and why we find that beautiful. It’s subjective, and I disagree with cynicism, that’s all.
