Best Answer

The "blue moon" is the second full moon in the same calendar month.

The complete cycle of moon phases is 29 days and a fraction; so you see that if there's a full moon
on the 1st or 2nd of the month, then there can be another one before the end of the month.

This December (2009) will have full moons on the 2nd and 31st ... the first blue moon in over 1-1/2 years.
