A little late in posting this picture, but this is the Blue Moon of December 31, 2009. Have you ever wondered what a Blue Moon was? The simple explanation is the 2nd full moon of a month. You HAVE to check out the information over at About.com though. Here is one of their examples of when the moon actually turned blue. Head on over to read much, MUCH more.
"In 1883, an Indonesian volcano named Krakatoa exploded. Scientists liken the blast to a 100-megaton nuclear bomb. Fully 600 km away, people heard the noise as loud as a cannon shot. Plumes of ash rose to the very top of Earth's atmosphere. And the moon turned blue."
