It wasn't actually blue, but the full moon still captured the attention of many this weekend. The next blue moon is not due to take place until 2023.
Alternatively, the name may originally have been a reference to a rare event that really did cause the moon to appear blue.
This can happen when there are water droplets in the air or when natural disasters cause volcanic ash or smoke to rise into the sky, giving the moon a blue hue. After the huge Krakatoa volcanic eruption in Indonesia in 1883, blue-colored moons appeared for years, according to Davis. But regarding this weekend's blue moon, any photos that show the moon appearing to glow blue have probably been edited using computer software or made to look blue using a camera filter.The Old Farmer's AlmanacThe almanac states that August's full moon was called the Sturgeon Moon because giant sturgeon fish in the Great Lakes were most easily fished during this part of the year.
