A blue moon is coming. The heavens unveil a full ‘blue moon’ on Friday to say goodbye to July BTW, it looks like there won't be another blue moon until 2018.

I actually noticed how large the moon was on our way back from a restaurant last night. It was still very light outside but the moon was already looming large, wish I'd had my camera with me!!

hi hmca. You should get more detail if you zoom in on the moon and then spot meter it. hth
