Image Details:

This month's "Blue" Full Moon. It's called blue, not because it's the second full moon in the month (it's not), but because it is the third of four full moons in a season. All you ever wanted to know about Blue Moons is here: https://earthsky.org/astronomy-e…/when-is-the-next-blue-moon. A little "bluish" hue added by me in post-processing.
