In 2048 there will be a January Blue Moon on Thursday, January 30 and a seasonal blue moon on Sunday, August 23. January will have two full moons and Summer will have an extra full moon. What is interesting about this year is February will have a full moon because it will occur on Leap Day. Typically when there is a January Blue Moon there isn’t enough time for February to have a Full Moon.
There are two definitions of blue moons. The most common, and the one you likely know, is when two full moons occur in the same month. The second full moon is typically called a blue moon.
The second definition relates to having an extra full moon on the calendar during a season. When a season has four full moons, the third full moon is also called a blue moon or a seasonal blue moon.
