Last night I managed to capture the Blue Moon before the Cloud covered the moon up. I am not very experienced when it comes to Moon's, but I loved having a go.
If you have any tips for taking Moon photos and editing, it would be truly appreciated.
What is Blue Moon:
"There are two different definitions for a Blue Moon. A seasonal Blue Moon is the third Full Moon of an astronomical season that has four Full Moons. A monthly Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a calendar month with two Full Moons.
The Full Moon on August 22/23, 2021, is a seasonal Blue Moon. It is also this year's Sturgeon Moon.
The next seasonal Blue Moon after this is also a Sturgeon Blue Moon. It takes place on Aug 19/20, 2024.
Why Is It Called a Blue Moon?
The historical origins of the term and its two definitions are shrouded in a bit of mystery and, by many accounts, an interpretation error.
Some believe that the term “blue moon”, meaning something rare, may have originated from when smoke and ashes after a volcanic eruption turned the Moon blue. Others trace the term's origin to over 400 years ago—folklorist Philip Hiscock has suggested that invoking the Blue Moon once meant that something was absurd and would never happen.
