@neiltyson it's because old calendars would color the 2nd one in a month blue instead of black.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson once every few years isnt rare? -
@CitanOfDarjani
@neiltyson there are 13 full moons every 370 days. Nearly every year has at least one blue moon. -
@JayAlver@neiltyson i heard the next wasnt until 2018 -
@CitanOfDarjani
@neiltyson you can't possibly go more than one year between blue moons. If 2016 doesn't have one, 2017 *must*. -
@JayAlver@neiltyson eh i googled it to be sure and everything is saying 2018/shrug -
@CitanOfDarjani
@neiltyson I got the pattern wrong, so you're right. But because we aren't having one in 2017, we actually get 2 in 2018. -
@JayAlver@neiltyson when was the last time that happened -
@CitanOfDarjani
@neiltyson we got two in 2012 as well, which is why we didn't have any in 2013 or 2014. - 1 more reply
