The full moon tonight is a little more special than usual. There was a full moon on the 2nd (Friday) of this month, so tonight will be the second full moon in October. When there are two full moons in a month like this, the second full moon is sometimes called a “blue moon.” It will be the first Blue Moon in Japan since March 2018, and it will be the first time in about two and a half years.
Also, it will be the first full moon in Japan on October 31, Halloween day, in 46 years since 1974. It was also in 2001 in the United States and elsewhere. Then Halloween and the full moon will be the same day in 2058, 38 years later in Japan, and in 2039, 19 years later in the United States and other countries.
Today there are many sunny places, but what about the night weather?
In some parts of the Pacific side of western Japan, there may be times when the moon is hidden by clouds caused by the wind.
On the Sea of Japan side, like Dohoku in Hokkaido, clouds are expected to gradually spread out tomorrow, and observations are likely to be difficult.
Also, if you change the date, it will be November, so be careful not to get cold at night across the country.
So why was the second full moon in a month called the Blue Moon?
There are several theories, but the origin is the phrase “once in a blue moon” which means “very rarely” in the English language, and it is rare to see the full moon twice a month. It is often said that it became general because the United States monthly astronomical magazine wrongly wrote that “the second full moon, which is twice a month, is called the blue moon.”
On average, Blue Moon is seen only once every two to three years, and there seem to be places in the world where it is said that “good luck comes when you see Blue Moon” due to its rarity.
I don’t know if happiness will really come when I see it, but tonight I look up at the sky and look at the round moon shining in the night sky and feel a happy moment that is a little different from everyday life. What you think.
