there are NO blue moons in 2006

Our Blue Moon Calculator says that in 2007, there is a Blue Moon in June. You may have heard or read reports which said that the Blue Moon really occurs in May. Who is right?
Well, you could see Blue Moons in May, June or even July, but it depends where in the world you live.

Let's start with the basic astronomical facts. The four Full Moons in May, June and July 2007 are as follows:


2 May at 10:09 GMT
1 June at 01:04 GMT
30 June at 13:49 GMT
30 July at 00:48 GMT

These dates and times have been calculated rigorously using the same methods as those employed by the United States Naval Observatory and by Her Majesty's Nautical Almanac Office. They are given in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which is the standard time zone used by astronomers worldwide.

Notice that the second Full Moon in the list occurs early in the morning of 1 June. Changing the time zone by two hours or more to the west of Greenwich changes the month in which the Full Moon falls. In the Americas, the Full Moon is on the evening of 31 May, not 1 June.

Here are those four Full Moons again, but with the dates and times adjusted for several major time zones around the world. For each time zone, the two Full Moons which fall in the same calendar month are highlighted.

As you can see, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia see the Blue Moon on 30 June, whilst the Americas see it on 31 May, and New Zealand must wait until 30 July to see its Blue Moon.

the orange tint actually comes from how we see it through the dust in our own atmosphere at times. however the Blood Moon or Hunters moon is the full moon of Oct. it has to do with the end of the farming season and the beginning of the hunting or butchering time , so its not some gorey thing about killing and sacrafice. the next blue moon is may 2007 the blue moon is a second full moon in a month. happens once every 33 months.

Orange tint is dust particles in the air. Blue Moon actually means that there are 2 full moons in one calendar month. It always is about every 28 days with 2-3 days of full moon. I know that it is more than 28 days because if it was consistant, the full moon would be on the same day of the week every month!

"Have you ever wondered why the moon is more orange or yellow in color when it first rises at night. This effect is caused by the atmosphere of the earth. The reason for the orange color is due to the scattering of light by the atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight must pass through much more atmosphere than when the moon is directly overhead. By the time the moonlight reaches your eyes, the blue, green, and purple pieces of visible light have been scattered away by air molecules. That's why you only see yellow, orange, or red.
The moon can have an orange color at any time of the year. Sometimes the moon appears orange even when it's directly overhead. This occurs when there's a lot of dust, smoke, or pollution in the atmosphere. The size of those particles will determine the type of color you will see. "

The Blue Moon is the second full moon in a month, so the next Blue Moon will be in 2007 - see link for more information.

A "blue moon" is a month which has 2 full moons during it. According to Wikipedia and the Farmer's Almanac, the next one is due in June of 2007.

I'm not sure when the next Blue moon is, but the orange is dust and particles in the atmosphere. The Harvest moon is caused by the dust and grain stirred up by, well, harvesting.

The orange tint you see is actually dust particles in the atmosphere. I am not sure when we are due for the next "blue moon".
