I know - I'm really excited to see it! However, sadly it most likely will not actually be blue. Though the moon has appeard blue in the past (1883) when an Indonesian volcano named Krakatoa exploded - the moon appeared blue and/or green for years. So if that is what it takes - I'll be happy to see it pearly gray as usual.

However, those in the western US may see a blue moon. Forest fires can make the moon appear blue if the ash or oily-smoke containing lots of 1-micron particles. And there will be forest fires there on July 31st. However, it is more likely that this will yeild a "red" moon than a blue moon. It would be very nice if one of our amigos in the west could snap a photo for us if this happens.

Isn't this when a baby smurf is brought to the village by the stork. I was wandering about the welfare of the smurfs.

Just kidding, I do wander what the blue moon will usher in.

Yeah I hope Someone out west does take a photo of it. I know theres no much chance that it will appear Blue here in Kentucky, Even though we are the Bluegrass State. I dont think it will help with a Blue Moon...lol

That would really be something to see. Ive heard of a Blue Moon before, but I never thought it really was something that was real.

Has anyone ever seen one before.

I can't remember ever seeing a blue moon. However, I do live on the west coast and THERE ARE fires going on not too far away. I'll be sure to take a few pictures with the digital camera. Thanks for posting this and reminding me about it!

Thanks Super..Look forward to seeing the pictures.

Cant Wait.

So does that mean all those sayings that have "once in a blue moon" will come true or happen now?

Okay, I'm going to think of something I've never done before and do it on 07/31/04. Then, if anybody ever asks me if I ever did that I can say...

Yeah...once...in a blue moon!

LOL

If you are in the US, it is .

Yeah CNN even had a report about it today.

This is one time I wished I lived on the west coast so I might have a chance of seeing it.

Have yall came up with what you will do tomorrow so you can say you did it once in a Blue Moon.

I decided that I would wash the dishes for my wife. Since she always says I never help around the House. So the Next time she says it, I can say but Honey thats not true. Once upon a Blue Moon I did do the dishes.

OK, I'm going to call my mother. She always complains that I never call her so that will be my claim to the blue moon.

Well it's the 31st 2:08am here. The moon's up, but it isn't blue . Just plain old yellowish.
