The term initially referred to the third Full Moon in a season with four Full Moons (normally there are three.) However, a misinterpretation of the 1937 &quot;Maine Farmer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Almanac&quot; in a popular magazine in 1946 led to the current definition. Either way the event is comparatively rare, occurring <font style=\"background-color: #ffc000\">seven times in a 19-year cycle<\/font>. By either definition the &quot;Blue Moon&quot; resets the monthly calendar of popular Full Moon names, so the next one, which will occur on September 29th, will be the fabled &quot;Harvest Moon&quot;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usno.navy.mil\/USNO\/tours-events\/sky-this-week\/the-sky-this-week-2012-august-27-september-4\">The Sky This Week, 2012 August 27 &#8211; September 4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Naval Oceanography Portal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sky This Week, 2012 August 27 &#8211; September 4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Naval Oceanography Portal The month\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s second Full Moon occurs on August 31st at 9:58 am Eastern Daylight Time.
