They’re not that rare, apparently
Nor are they blue, apparently.
There are two definitions of 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.”
To have a monthly blue moon, the first one has to occur at the very beginning of the month, because the whole moon cycle takes 29.5 days.
This post was longer, but my server burped and lost it. We’re having…issues.

My favorite moon is the plain old very light silvery gray moon, the one that only comes every 29.5 days. With that one, and a day either side, when I get up early in the morning to use the bathroom there’s enough moonlight I don’t have to turn on the overhead.
I get my pleasures in small ways whenever possible.
