No, I’m not talking about the nomination of a Mormon, Mitt
Romney, for the President of the United States. I’m talking about a phenomenon that won’t
occur again until July 2015— a Blue Moon.
I have been interested in astronomy and the phases of the moon since I
was a little girl growing up in the clear, clean air and blue skies at the end
of the prairie in Laramie, Wyoming.
While perusing Glenn Beck’s theblaze.com —I found an
interesting reference to Friday, August 31, 2012. It seems on this night a second full moon in the same month will fill
the sky. Why this
particular moon is called “blue” you can find out for yourself on
farmersalamac.com by searching for what-is-a-blue-moon. Hint: it’s not because it’s made of blue
cheese.
And, by coincidence, the funeral for Neil Armstrong, an American hero and the first man to walk on the moon, is on the same day as this "Blue Moon," August 31, 2012. When you are "gazing at the moon" on this night, think of this man, this pioneer astronaut who has been laid to rest under a celestial object on which he has walked.
