A "blue moon" is not really blue, but is two full moons in one month. Which makes it a blue moon.

What does it mean if you are born an a blue moon?

If you've ever heard of the expression "once in a blue moon", you would probably refer to it as being "rare" or "unusual", so if you were born on a blue moon (which I have just found out I was) it means you're pretty unique!


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 is the moon gray yellow sometimes blue?

I don't know for gray and yellow but for blue... The moon is only blue every 10 years or something. The reference is called "once in a blue moon" which means it's a really long time. The moon is only blue when there are two full moons in one month. That's 28 days. Blue moons can last up to a week.
