Blue Moon
“Blue Moon” is a term that is used to describe the phenomenon of a second full moon
occurring in one month. How could two full moons possibly occur in a single month? It is not
nature’s fault; the natural phrases of the moon do not perfectly match up with the Roman
calendar.
Although still used today, this calendar was devised by Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar
over 2000 years ago. While the calendar works well, the method that they used does not match
the lunar cycle exactly. Thus, occasionally the moon will go through its “full” phrase twice before
the month changes.
A “blue moon” is an uncommon event. And it rare occurrence of an eventually led to the
usage of the phrase “once in a blue moon”. This phrase was commonly used to indicate an event
that could never happen. Over time, the meaning of the phrase changed from something that
seldom happens. Today, this phrase is used to indicate extremely rare events, the absurd, or
things that never happen.
