At about 12:50pm the moon turned blue then vanished for a bit when it came back it was white again. Anyone else see it or anything else like it before?

I was able to get a quick snapshot.

I have seen this at other times. It seems to happen once in a blue moon.

Blue moon,
you saw me standing alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own...

Yeah the moon has a bunch of colors.

A week after SL went Gold, we got 7 nice nights of moon phases.

I want them back, they were cool :(

The moon turned blue last night. I got some pictures. It was blue for a short while, then went aqua for an even shorter while before going back to white. So pretty! Here are some pics.

This was all me...

I have a large 50% transparent blue tinged hat that I wear sometimes. This is complicated by the fact that I often sneak up on people and stand in front of them and don’t really announce myself.

I was also responsible for:

"the blue people of aqua!" thread

and the technical support thread:

"OMG, my ceiling turned blue when this guy with a funny hat walked by"

When you have three full moons in a single month, the third one is referred to as the "blue moon"

:p

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but I believe the oddly colored moon sightings are due to an artifact of 3d rendering. I have seen the moon in blue, aqua, green, red, and yellow.

Apotheus, if it's an artifact, then my friend I was with wouldn't have also seen the blue moon. He gave me a pic so I know he wasn't just humoring me.:)

Yeah - the moon does go blue occasionally for sure. usually just about at the peak of its arc, and usually for less than a minute, so that every time I say 'ooh. there's a blue moon, see!?' by the time my companions have turned round to look its gone again

The second Grim, not third... since full moons are 28 days apart... think about the likely hood of three of them in any month shorter than 56 days...

Now how many of them are there?

Err, right...

*grumble*

I actually had two/second, then I had a brainfart and went back and changed it to three/third.

Where's my Geritol?
