There are 2 uses of the term 'Blue Moon' -
Because the lunar cycle is 28 days and the year has 365 days it works out that there are 13 new moons in a year. The year is divided into 4 seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, each of which would have 3 new moons (which are referred to as the Early Spring Moon, Mid-Spring Moon, Late Spring Moon and so on for the other 3 seasons) and wherever the extra 13th new moon falls it is given the name Blue Moon and this term is used to describe the 3rd new moon out of the 4 in the season. It would look exactly the same as the other 12.
The other use of the term Blue Moon is when certain atmospheric conditions, usually smoke at high altitude, gives the Moon the appearance of a slightly blue tint.
