What time can the Blue moon be seen in Texas?

The "blue moon" isn't really blue; it is just a saying. People used to say "once in a blue moon" for anything that was rare or unusual, but this got redefined as "the second full moon in a calendar month". This isn't really all that rare; on average, about every other year. The Moon is full now; it will rise this evening at about sunset. And since this is the second full moon in December, it will be a "blue moon". (For people in the Far East, like Japan, China, Indonesia and Australia, the full moon "today" is on January 1, 2010. For them, the "blue moon" will be 29.5 days from now, on January 30, 2010. )

Why do things happen in a blue moon?

The term "blue moon" comes from folklore. Different traditions and conventions place the extra "blue" full moon at different times in the year .In calculating the dates for Lent and Easter the Clergy identify the Lent Moon. It is thought that historically when the moons timing was too early, they named an earlier moon as a "betrayer moon" (belewe moon), thus the Lent moon came at its expected time.Folklore gave each moon a name according to its time of year. A moon that came too early had no folk name, and was called a blue moon, retaining the correct seasonal timings for future moons .The Farmers Almanac defined blue moon as an extra full moon that occurred in a season; one season was normally three full moons. If a season had four full moons, then the third full moon was named a blue moon.Recent popular usage defined a blue moon as the second full moon in a calendar month, stemming from an interpretation error made in 1946 that was discovered in 1999. For example, December 31, 2009 was a blue moon according to this usage.A "blue moon" is also used colloquially to mean "a rare event", reflected in the phrase "once in a blue moon". The most literal meaning of blue moon is when the moon (not necessarily a full moon) appears to a casual observer to be unusually bluish, which is a rare event. The effect can be caused by smoke or dust particles in the atmosphere, as has happened after forest fires in Sweden and Canada in 1950 and 1951


Why does the moon sometimes seem blue?

The term "blue moon" refers to the second full moon in a calendar month, which happens roughly every 2.7 years. The moon does not actually appear blue in color. The phrase "once in a blue moon" has led to the misconception that the moon can appear blue at times.
