AP is not my forte but sorting out colour balance can’t be that hard. 😉

Yesterday evening the MD announced that someone on Bookface had just announced that it was a full Moon "the first since '74". So it must be true.

She seemed surprised that I didn't already know this.

I wasn't even interested enough to look up whether this one had been given one of those increasingly bizarre names.

So what are the Criteria for a "Blue Moon"? Other than only happening once every Blue Moon...

Blue moon

A blue moon is an additional full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year: either the third of four full moons in a season, or a second full moon in a month of the common calendar. The phrase in modern usage has nothing to do with the actual color of the Moon, although a visually blue Moon (the Moon appearing with a bluish tinge) may occur under certain atmospheric conditions – for instance, if volcanic eruptions or fires release particles in the atmosphere of just the right size to preferentially scatter red light.
