Actually, a blue moon is the 4th full moon to occur in a seasonal quarter. Not, the 2nd full moon in a calendar month. I believe the full moon arrives before the change of season, which WOULD make it a blue moon. I am not going to get up to watch the eclipse though, because as a dues paying IAABO member, I have that covered.

I stand corrected. It is the 3rd full moon when there are four in a season. Here is a definition I found:
The older definition, which is recorded in early issues of the Maine Farmer's Almanac, states that the blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. The full Moon on Nov. 21, 2010, was this type of blue moon; it was the third of four full moons between the fall equinox and the winter solstice. Why would one want to identify the third full moon in a season of four full moons? The answer is complex, and has to do with the Christian ecclesiastical calendar. Some years have an extra full moon—13 instead of 12. Since the identity of the moons was important in the ecclesiastical calendar (the Paschal Moon, for example, used to be crucial for determining the date of Easter), a year with a 13th moon skewed the calendar, since there were names for only 12 moons. By identifying the extra, 13th moon as a blue moon, the ecclesiastical calendar was able to stay on track.

Don't stare at it. You'll go blind.
