On Thursday, May 31st, 2007, the Moon will be full again, like it does every 29 days. But according to some traditions, it’ll be a special Blue Moon, since it’s full for the second time in May. The first full Moon occurred on May 2nd, and now, still in May, there’s time for another full Moon.
The concept of a Blue Moon has been around for hundreds of years, but the modern definition appeared in the last century.

Time to do all those things you say you only do once in a blue moon!!
