Tonight's Blue MoonBLUE MOON & JUPITER: According to folklore, tonight's full Moon over North
America is a "Blue Moon" because it is the second full Moon in a calendar month.
If you go outside to look at the Blue Moon, you'll see it has a companion:
Jupiter. All night long, the giant planet will be located right beside the
Moon. You can see the bright pair with the naked eye, or for a real treat, scan
them with a backyard telescope. The moons of Jupiter, lunar mountains and
craters, and the Great Red Spot are surprisingly easy to see.
A REAL BLUE MOON! Blue Moons are supposed to be absurd, but on May 21st, the
Moon over Hungary really did turn blue. Onlookers describe it as a "unique and
unforgettable" experience. Visit http://spaceweather.com to view photos of the
display and to learn what caused it.
