Blue Moon on Halloween

Posted on Fri 4th Sep, 2020 @ 4:05am by Commander Paul Graves PsyD

I just saw this in an email account I'm about to delete because it is so spam ridden.

This week, for the first time in three years, the September full moon is in a unique situation: it's happening so early in the month — a timing that gives it an entirely different name, the corn moon, instead of the harvest moon — that it sets the stage for October to have two full moons, meaning a rare blue moon will shine this Halloween, on Oct. 31.

This full moon, named for the East Coast corn harvest, will reach peak fullness at 1:22 a.m. EDT (5:22 UTC) on Wednesday, Sept. 2, according to NASA.

Chantal: Surely, this merits something Addamsy!

Surely, it does! And the Addamses have about 7 weeks to think of what! =)
