Arabs - Weather astronomy enthusiasts can watch Blue Moon Patarrih next October 31, which will be visible in all regions.

The moon will not actually appear blue, but it is given this name because it is the second full moon to appear in the same month, where the first moon appears on October 1 next, while the second moon appears on the 31 of the same month.

And the exciting thing about the appearance of the Blue Moon 2020 is that the moon appears in the phase of a "full" full moon twice within one month, and this astronomical event rarely occurs.

The blue moon phenomenon is repeated every two to three years

Egyptian astronomer Dr. Khaled al-Gharib says, “This phenomenon usually occurs every two to three years, and during the past five years, the blue moon appeared on July 31, 2015, and appeared again on January 21, 2018, and will happen on October 31, 2020, according to Al Ain News Portal
