If each month of the year normally has its unique full moon, this year 2023 is a year with 13 full moons and it is this month of August that the second full moon of the same month occurs (the first having occurred on the 1st August and the last this Thursday, August 31, 2023). This is why the phenomenon is called a “full blue moon”, which has nothing to do with the color of the star.
The use of the term “blue” would result from a blunder in an article in the American magazine of amateur astronomy Sky and Telescopein 1946. The article in question was titled Once in a Blue Moon and was written by journalist James Hugh Pruett who misinterpreted the Maine Farmers’ Almanac of 1937.
