Blue Moon 26 September 1934

On the 26th Sepember 1934 a Blue Moon shone in the sky in Britain.  My blip commemorates that event using yesterday’s full Moon as an aide:)  Our last Blue Moon was in 31st March 2018, and the next one will appear in 2037. A Blue Moon isn’t normally blue  - see HERE. “The moon can appear bluish, as it did in 1883 after the volcano Krakatoa erupted. Dust in the air acted as a filter, causing sunsets and the moon to turn green and blue all over the world, an event that NASA said is thought to have spawned the phrase ”blue moon." Other events such as forest fires and dust storms can cause the moon to turn blue”.  I doubt I'll see the next one:-)
