When someone says “Once in a Blue Moon,” you know what they mean: Rare, seldom, even absurd. This year it means “the end of July.” For the second time this month, the Moon is about to become full. There was one full Moon on July 2nd, and now a second is coming on July 31st. According to modern folklore, whenever there are two full Moons in a calendar month, the second one is “blue.” Most Blue Moons look pale gray and white, just like the Moon you’ve seen on any other night. Squeezing a second full Moon into a calendar month doesn’t chang...
