UPDATE! 8/8/15

They (USPTO and Congress) got so many letters from Artists and Photographers that they are going to post them and allow comments until OCT 1! Make sure you support it by commenting or writing!!!! ---->

According to Joan Beiriger "there are two separate issues that the copyright office has extended the deadlines. One is commenting on the letters that artists submitted and the second is writing letters (comments) to the copyright office about their proposed 5 year pilot program in looking for the best way to handle orphan images. Both deadlines are in October."

Here we go again ... Another moon this month 

What's In A Blue Moon?

Blue Moons Are Rare.

Friday July 28 is the last full moon until 2018!

What is a Blue Moon?

There are 2 meanings to a Blue Moon: 
  1. The term BLUE MOON has traditionally referred to an 'extra' moon, where a year which normally has 12 moons has 13 instead. 
  2. The 'blue moon' reference is also applied to the 2nd moon when two moons occur in one month.

A Colorful Topic:

Songs:
The Blue Moon is a topic for many songs among them  "Blue Moon" by Billie holiday 1945 and "Blue, Blue , Blue, Blue Moon" rerecorded by the Marcells.

Sayings:
"Once in a  Blue Moon" is a saying used to describe a long stretch of time or an event that is rare.

Is the Moon really blue?

There are two definitions of a Blue Moon in astronomy; both are a type of full moon. If the moon actually looks blue, it's caused by a rare type of dust in the atmosphere.
