In August, the first full moon occurs on August 2, 2012. While the second full moon occurs on August 31, 2012. Well, the second full moon is called a blue moon. "So there are 13 full moons in a year.

The next blue moon will occur again in July 2015 where the first full moon on July 1 and the second full moon occurs on July 31, 2015.
Although only limited to the term blue moon, but that does not mean the moon can not change color. If the earth's forest fires or volcanic eruptions, shortly after the moon can appear bluish. Soot and ash particles are stored in atmosferlah which can sometimes make a blue moon.
