"Blue Moon" Appears in Sky Saturday Night

Posted by Hemos on from the blue-moon-you-saw-me-standing-alone dept.

ArbiterOne writes "Tonight a rare spectacle can be seen: the second full moon in a month, which is sometimes called the "blue moon", according to CNN. Don't be disappointed if it isn't actually blue, though; the blueness is caused by increased density of smoke or ash in the air, such as after a volcanic eruption."

    I guess this is the new /. alternative to dupes... posting about periodic, anticipated events that happen multiple times a year. :-)

    In this new category: IE exploits, IE patches, Firefox point-point releases, and PHP flamewars. I'm sure there's plenty of other things that can belong in this category...
