I'm really glad I stumbled across this post. I found myself watching the news on TV this morning and heard a news presenter going on about the 'blue moon' tonight. She even came up with the preposterous idea that the moon would look blue "with enough pollution" in the sky.
I wonder who vets this stuff before it hits TV. Hilarious really. Perhaps not a bad conversation piece to get people talking about astronomy though (especially if someone is at hand to explain the real story).
Great info in this post though. Cheers!
