      This October, the 1st and 31st will see two full moons.  The one occurring on the 31st will be a Blue Moon.

      Info here:-  https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-october  –  contains also fascinating info about the connotations about our Moon and folklore.

      Hopefully, the clouds will obey and give us full sight of a rare Blue Moon.

      Dear CAS Folks

      Just a quick refreshing reminder that October, should see us set for a Blue Moon.  My previous post gives all the details but quickly, two full Moons occur on 1st and 31st October.

      Nice bits of information here as contained in the BBC News science website.  Here is the easy link.

      Happy viewing, if not, somewhat spooky!

      Thanks for you timely reminder, Laurence. There should be good viewing of the Blue Moon here as we have clear skies. Ready to howl in gratitude for clean, crisp air and the celestial show tonight. Happy All Hallow’s Eve to all.

      Thanks, Keelin.  It is always nice to hear from you.

      Unfortunately, as ever, the clouds here obliterated the Moon, planets or stars.

      I often ponder and wonder this question – why is it when a celestial event occurs the clouds mysteriously move in to cover up and hide witness to a sometimes a once in a life time event?  Maybe it is a case of the fabled “Sods Law” which seems never to fail, much my to my annoyance and chagrin!  “Oh, dear!”.
