The full blue moon reaches its peak Sunday morning at 8:02 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT).
Full moons occur when the moon is exactly on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. Generally full moon occurs 12 times in a year or three times for each of the four seasons.
While the term Blue Moon is commonly reserved for the second full moon of a calendar month, August's Sturgeon Moon is considered a Blue Moon based on an older definition of the term "Blue Moon", which represents the third full moon that occurs in a single season — in this case, summer — that has four full moons, according to a full moon guide from NASA and one Blue Moon.
"The first recorded use of 'Blue Moon' in English dates from 1528," NASA's Gordon Johnston wrote in the full moon guide for August and September. "Speculations on the origin of the term Blue Moon include an old English phrase that means 'betrayer moon' or a reference to rare events, such as when dust in the atmosphere makes the moon actually appear blue (Blue Moon). Since the 1940's the term Blue Moon has also been used for the second full moon in a month that has two full moons."
It was not until the 1940's that the term "Blue Moon" was used to describe the second full moon in a month that has two full moons, according to the NASA statement.
