“Blue Moon” coming to Vietnam soon

Vietnamese people will have the chance to see a blue moon when it graces the night sky at 20:58 on August 31 (local time).

It is the second full moon in a month after the first one appeared on the first day of August.

However, there will be nothing particularly blue about the moon, despite its colorful name.

There will be a long wait until July 2015 to see a similar astronomical phenomenon that often occurs in a lunar leap year.
