No, the blue moon is the second full moon
VERY INFREQUENTLY. A Blue Moon is said to occur , when two full Moons occur in one calendar month. On say dates 1st of the month and 28th of the same month.
Once in a very long time or takes ages to happen A "blue moon" is when there is a full moon twice in a calendar month-which IS rare, but occurs, on average, every 2.5 years.
A blue moon is any full moon that happens to be the second full moon in a calendar month. Therefore blue moons invariably happen near the end of a month. As the lunar cycle is just about 28 days, it would be a very rare occurrence for one to happen at the end of February, but otherwise they are a natural phenomenon.

It appears as a full moon twice in one calendar month...rare
No, a "blue moon" is the second full moon in a single calendar month. On occasion the moon will rise with a slightly blueish or even lavender cast to it, but they are even rarer than the traditional "blue moon." On an additional note, the second new moon in a single calendar month is called a "black moon" and is similarly rare.
No. A Blue Moon is merely a full mood happening for the second time in a calendar month.
Yes, a blue moon is a real astronomical event. A blue moon refers to the second full moon occurring within a calendar month. It is a relatively rare occurrence, happening about once every 2.7 years on average.

No, it is the name given to a second full moon occurring in the same calendar month. (This does not happen often)Some sources indicate that the original "blue moon" was the 13th calendar-year full moon, which occurs because the calendar year has 11 more days than the 12 lunar months. Every two or three years there is a 13th full moon.
A blue moon is a second full moon in a calendar month. A blue moon is also the third of four full moons in one season. There was no second full moon in any month in 2005, but there was a third full moon in a season with four full moons. That happened on the 19th of August 2005.
Once in a blue moon has come to mean once in a great while, but the actual frequency of blue moons averages about once every 2.7 years, a blue moon being the second full moon in the same month of a solar calendar. That average frequency is exactly the same as the average frequency of a leap month in a lunar calendar. The calculation of the average frequency of blue moons does not take into account that January and March of 2018 will EACH have two full moons, a rarity caused by the fact that February does not last as long as a lunar cycle.
