HELLO CELESTIAL VIEWERS! THIS WEEK
WE LL SEE A BEAUTIFUL FULL BLUE MOON,

AND EVEN THOUGH YOU SEE ME STANDING ALONE

IN REALITY THE MOON IS NORMAL COLOR, WE JUST MADE
IT BLUE FOR TV -- SO WHY DO WE CALL IT BLUE?

THE TERM BLUE MOON HAS TWO DEFINITIONS! TODAY
IT MEANS THE SECOND FULL MOON IN A CALENDAR MONTH,

BUT HISTORICALLY IT MEANT THE THIRD OF
FOUR FULL MOONS IN A SINGLE SEASON.

BOTH DEFINITIONS ARE USED TODAY, AND THIS
IS THE LATTER -- A SEASONAL. BLUE. MOON.

WITHOUT GETTING TOO TECHNICAL, THIS HAPPENS
BECAUSE CELESTIAL ORBITS DON T PERFECTLY ALIGN.

SO WE HAVE THIRTEEN FULL MOONS BETWEEN
THE 2020 AND 2021 DECEMBER SOLSTICES.

HIT THE DARKNESS AROUND NINE THIRTY PM FOR
MOONRISE AND YOU LL SEE THE MOON CHASING

JUPITER ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN SKY. IT MAY
LOOK THE SAME, BUT IT SHOULD FEEL DIFFERENT

BECAUSE WE WON T SEE ANOTHER SEASONAL
BLUE MOON UNTIL 2048! KEEP LOOKIN UP!
