Yes. You can see it from the window if you go to the bathroom on the right.

All my life, it’s been called a Blue Moon. Why is it changed now?

It’s not a full moon. It’s a new moon. Different phases.

True. Reference was to “The Big Lebowski.”

Something even rarer is that the Jewish New Year and the Muslim New Year begin with the same new moon this year. This only happens once every 30-something years (because of the Muslim year being 11 days short of a solar year, so the months rotate through the seasons). I think the Muslim year begins one day before the Jewish New Year.

Put in dog-months and it sounds more rare.
32 months = 224 dog-months.

I thought they were called “Blue moons” not “Black moons.”

“Something that occurs every ~2½ years could hardly be called rare.”

True, true. But not to those with an attention span of a housefly. And the intellect to match. Ah, the libs... NO, you don’t have to love them.
