Those who looked at the moon on Saturday admired its brightness. It was almost completely full. The moon is completely full at 9:01 a.m. on Sunday, August 22. This means that the lunar disk is 100% illuminated by the sun. The full moon on August 22 is also a blue moon, in English, a blue moon.

Once it has passed the full point, the illumination of the lunar disk decreases day by day, until it reaches the half moon, on August 30, and then the new moon, on September 6, when the disk of the moon is without light.

But what is a blue moon? Will the moon really turn blue? What does this moon mean in astronomy and mainly, will you be able to see this special moon?

blue moon

one day

Before I eat smile

I hate moonlight!

shadows of the night

Poets find it deceptive

Flat like moonlight

With no one to stay awake

I went to sleep at ten

Life was a bitter cup

To the sorrow of all men

one day

My heart was just a member

My life didn’t matter

Now that I’m with you

Being Rich Like Morgan

It is my only ambition

As soon as I woke up at seven

I hate the morning light

Now I’m awake in heaven

And all the world is fine

The blue moon saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without my own love

blue moon

You knew exactly what you were there for

You heard me say a prayer for

Someone I could really care about

Then suddenly appeared in front of me

The only one in my arms

I heard someone whisper “Please adore me”

And when I looked, the moon turned to gold!

Blue Moon! Now I’m not alone anymore

Without a dream in my heart

Without my own love

The blue moon saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without my own love

Which poets find charming

They looked as faint as moonlight

Because I had no one to keep me awake

I was going to bed at 10:00

Life was a bitter cup

To the saddest man ever

My heart was just a member

I had no mission in life

Now that I have

Now I wake up in heaven

And the whole world is fine
