'True' Blue Moon to appear on August 22

If you are a selenophile, then this news might interest you! The American Astronomical Society has just indicated that if the skies would be clear this weekend, then the full moon of Sunday, August 22, will be a 'Blue Moon'.

A blue moon is an additional full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year: the third of four full moons in a season.
