The light next to the blue moon is an airplane.
Every 2.7 years (according to an article in our local paper) an "extra" moon appears in a month. Called a blue moon, the term is traced back to 1528 England when William Barlow, the bishop of Chichester, wrote: "Yf they saye the mone is belewe, We must believe that it is true."
The blue moon captured from our back yard on New Year's Eve is even more of a rarity. The next blue moon scheduled to appear on New Year's Eve won't happen until 2028.
