January 31, 20188 yr I am not sure what the big deal is with the Blue moon? Sort of like going for an 18" pizza and you get a 19" pizza....no big deal.....??

Well it will be a super moon, a blood moon and a blue moon simultaneously. So that's pretty cool. I'll be looking for it.
January 31, 20188 yr Some people may mistakenly think the moon may have a bluish tinge or appear unusually large. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_moon

January 31, 20188 yr A blue moon isn't actually blue, of course, and blood moons aren't really blood red. As for supermoons, which occur at the point of orbit known as perigee, they're just a tad bigger and brighter than usual. https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/super-blue-blood-moon-coming-here-s-how-see-it-ncna840356

January 31, 20188 yr local Ajarn has a night full of blue lunar meditation planned... uh oh - may have to fall back on YouTube, or Stellarium!!
January 31, 20188 yr My question is. How do you get a full Moon regardless of colour at midnight directly overhead when the Sun is 180 degrees on the other side of the "Ball Earth?. Should the Earth not block out any light hitting the Moon?
