Occurrence of Blue Moons

from 274 other WAVES in con
test aunng celebration
WAVES" second
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer, Genaral Extension
Division, University of Oregon
"Once in a blue moon" is an
expression occasionally used.
It seems to mean "almost never"
or even "not at all." A prom
inent eastern astronomer re
cently remarked that he did not
believe a blue moon could occur
since there are no known me
teorological or optical reasons
for it. Smoky air will Droduce
a red moon. This is easily ex
plained on me principle tnat the
smoke scatters the shorter blue
and violet waves of light more
than the red, thus allowing the
rea part ot tne original white to
reacn us in greater abundance.
Another eastern writer said
the term doubtless comes from
the use of the word to indicate
an occasional 13th fulf moon in
a year. About once in three
years. 13 instead of 12 full moons
occur. In olden times each full
moon was given a name, such
as Lenten moon, egg moon, har
vest moon, hunter's moon, etc.
The extra one, which might oc
cur any month, was termed blue
moon.
But every time a scientist
writes that a moon that appears
blue cannot occur, a few laymen
come back with strong, refuta
tions. Four such claims of ac
tual observations have been pub
lished in the magazine Sky and
Telescope the past five years.
One said that the half moon in
me south had a decided bluish
tinge 20 minutes before sunset
and that its reflection in a quiet
pond was even bluer. Another
described his moon as greenish
blue.
Due to Disorders
The present writer considered
blue moons likely due to con
stitutional disorders of the ob
servers until he and several oth
ers witnessed this very phenom
enon shortly after sunset nn
July 28. 1944. The half moon
in the sbuth was thinly veiled
with gorgeous red cirrus clouds.
At first it was thought that the
moon might simply be blue by
contrast, but when a little later
it floated out into very clear sky,
it was still strikinelv blue. Not
of course indigo .blue, but such
a tint as mignt result from a
coating of clear lacauer into
which a fair amount of blue col
oring matter had previously been
mixed.
The color was strikingly evi
dent and required no Imagi
nation. Our blue moon finally
turned into yellow as darkness
came on.
No Explanation
No explanation is offered
since none is supposed to be pos
sible. A blue moon may be 'a
sight of a. lifetime or even
rarer but normal eyes do some
times observe it. A search
through the indices of the Month
ly Weather Review from 1898 to
1942 revealed not a single ref
erence to this phenomenon.
Similar luck was encountered In
a "once over" of practically all
the meteorology and astronomy
books at the University of Ore
gon library.
The writer is 'anxious' to gel
accounts of blue moons observed
by others at any time in the past.
Address him at 1832 Longvicw
Avenue, Eugene, Oregon.

Charges Against
Fish Withdrawn
NEW Yorik. Aug. 12 (rt-l
Former Magistrate Joseph Gold
stein Friday withdrew a sum
mons charging Rep. Hamilton
Fish (R-N.Y.) with disorderly
conduct.
Goldstein said tho withdraw
al was made because the sum
mons had only local jurisdiction
and added ho would apply to a
U. S. commissioner for n war
rant for Fish.
The summons had been ob
tained on the grounds that a
threat of violence to Jews was
implied in a newspaper Inter
view which quoted Fish as say
ing it would bo better for Jews
to split their vote instead of
voting solidly for President
Roosevelt.
