The term Blue Moon has no relation at all to the color of the moon. The Blue Moon appears during rare occasions while the term was borrowed from a favorite expression “once in a blue moon”.
Within a year, a full moon appears every month for 12 months. The 13th moon is referred to as the blue moon.
The blue moon phenomena happens 7 times with a 19 year period.
