Here is more information than you're asking for:
There are two interpretations of "blue moon" going around.
The original interpretation of the phrase was: the third full moon in a season that has four full moons
in it. According to this definition, the next blue moon will occur on November 21, 2010.
The second interpretation of the phrase ... published as a mistake in 1946 and widely adopted ... is: the second
full moon in one calendar month. According to this definition, the next one will occur in August, 2012.
Another, perhaps more interesting, piece of trivia: The next occurrence of a "blue moon" on New Year's Eve,
as happened at the end of 2009, will be on 12/31 in 2028, and will be accompanied by a total lunar eclipse.
