BLUE MOON & JUPITER: According to folklore, tonight's full Moon over North
America is a "Blue Moon" because it is the second full Moon in a calendar
month. If you go outside to look at the Blue Moon, you'll see it has a
companion: Jupiter. All night long, the giant planet will be located right
beside the Moon. You can see the bright pair with the naked eye, or for a
real treat, scan them with a backyard telescope. The moons of Jupiter, lunar
mountains and craters, and the Great Red Spot are surprisingly easy to see.
A REAL BLUE MOON! Blue Moons are supposed to be absurd, but on May 21st, the
Moon over Hungary really did turn blue. Onlookers describe it as a "unique
and unforgettable" experience. Visit http://spaceweather.com to view photos
of the display and to learn what caused it.
