Super Blue Moon Tonight?
If the skies are clear tonight by you, it may be interesting to look to the sky to see the Moon. Supposedly it is blue, full, and what is called a super moon.
What is a super blue moon and why is it so rare?
What is so special about the August 19 super blue moon. It is exactly a combination of three elements . . . a full moon, a supermoon, and a blue moon at the same time.
According to NASA, tonight’s combination is quite ‘irregular’ and only occurs once every 10 years on average. It can also be as long as 20 years between super blue moons. Despite the last one being in August 2023, NASA is predicting we won’t see it again until January and March 2037, which is another reason why you won’t want to miss it (Picture: Getty Images).
Maybe some music to go along with it? High Flying Birds – Blue Moon Rising, Billie Holiday – Blue Moon, or the Marcel version of Blue Moon? Maybe the original Ted Fio Rito (1934–Muzzy Marcellino, vocal) Blue Moon? Depends on what you like.
It is worth taking a look at tonight if your skies are clear like they will be for sure in AZ.

The blue moon is the second full moon in one calendar month. Happens almost every year.
Changing the definition for the DNC convention and linking to a 47 sec Harris ad is bad manners.
I will finish that cigar I started last week.
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar
You’re gonna go far, you’re gonna fly high
You’re never gonna die, you’re gonna make it if you try
They’re gonna love you
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train

Nanci Griffith “Once In a Very Blue Moon”
Pat Alger Rules! (And, yes, I prefer Nanci’s version to his.)
We were always told the technical definition (as opposed to the common definition, stated above by paddy and used by my wife when we got married–The Marcel’s, by the way, though I forgot to play her a copy before the wedding) was the fourth full moon of a season, not the third (which this one is).
Either way, a worthy night sky to distract.

The Marcels – Blue Moon (60) {Live}
Well Ken:
Jan and I would go to the NPR oldies at the Pittsburgh Benedum. We were the younger Baby Boomers in the crowd. One night a dozen of us closed down the bar in the Westin. In the end we were drinking free wine as the bartender would have had to pitch it. Fun place . . .
