This explains...so much about today. Whether they realize it or not, all teachers dread a full moon. Something about it actually makes the kids go nuts.
Anyway, let's speak literally for a minute. According to Space.com, a Full Blue Blood Moon (even without the eclipse) is:
The moon is full, and it's the second full moon of the calendar month, which has been termed a blue moon. The moon is on a 28-day cycle, so that happens only once in a while – or, as you might say, once in a blue moon.Add in an eclipse? Well, you get a literally astronomical phenomenon.
What a year it's been for astronomy fans (and a teacher who teaches astronomy to his class)!
