Blue Moon August 2012 Time Tonight, Live Stream Link Available

The blue moon's arrival is finally arising for USA citizens to admire tonight.  Though it's technically no different than any other full moon, there is something special and charming about a blue moon.  A special live stream will capture the beauty of moon in its true color from the coast of Africa and Arizona.  It will also broadcast a special section to pay tribute to the late astronomer Neil Armstrong.  

A blue moon occurs every 2.7 years with the next one in July 2015.  It is basically an extra full moon in a calendar month.  The last full moon occurred on August 1st.  A double blue moon is even more rare and last occurred in 1999.  The next one is slated for 2018.

You can tune in to the live stream by Slooh Space Camera for free tonight starting at 6:00 p.m. EST.  

"This Blue Moon that Slooh will explore Friday night is somewhat rare, but not as rare as the courage and talent of the late Neil Armstrong, the first human to set foot on our nearest celestial neighbor," the editor of Slooh Bob Berman said.

"To honor him, Slooh will explore the Sea of Tranquillity with its Canary island 20-inch telescope, live, and have guests who will reveal some of the lesser-known secrets of that historic 1969 event. I think many of our visitors will be in for quite a surprise."
