Blue Moon

Tonight, Dear Cherubs, is a very special full moon.  It's the blue moon! This is the moon of magic and wishes. Made even more special due to the fact it is the last one until 2015.

Blue moons occur every two to three years due to the "left over days" form the solar calender. (leap year anyone?)

Traditions all around the world  view this moon as special (except Christians who call it the betrayers moon since it came "too early" for Lent. Really, guys? Really?)

The moon of course isn't going to be blue (though that would be awesome) Since it is atmospheric pollution like dust that would cause the change, i.e. like in 1883 when Krakatoa erupted all moons where literally blue for two years.

Now, the blue moon that should be really fun is in 2028. It falls on New Years Eve and is a full lunar eclipse, imagine the craziness!!

It's seen as the moon of wishes. It is said that what you wish for on the blue moon is sure to come true. So, Dear Cherubs, take stock of your life and use that wish wisely.
