Super Moon twice in a Month

A Blue Moon is the second full moon that occurs in a calendar month. Usually every month we have only one full moon, but occasionally a second one gets in. We already had one full moon early this January. As we all know, full moons are separated by 29 days, while most months are 30 or 31 days long; so it is possible at times to fit two full moons in a single month. This happens every two and a half years or so. Here are photos of last night's Blue Super Moon. Just like the last time this was a feast to my eyes, even though the clouds rolled in and took over the skies intermitently! I'll see you again dear Moon - perhaps once in a blue moon, not once but twice in a month over the backyard fence!
