There is a companion of Earth, our home planet , the Moon. It used to be a thing of curiosity to small children, how it changes shape , sometimes disappear and sometimes pop up with full of light , like a Sun at night . The Embedding curiosity lead the humans to build the things to reduce the distance of Moon from us. And here we are with a processed picture of full moon. Beautiful,  isn't it ?

In the words of the poet Al Mutanabbi:

إذا غامَرْتَ في شَرَفٍ مَرُومِ

فَلا تَقنَعْ بما دونَ النّجومِ

(If you ventured in pursuit of glory, don’t be satisfied with less than the stars.)

What makes moon look Orange  ?
Have you ever wondered why the moon is more orange or yellow in color when it first rises at night. This effect is caused by the atmosphere of the earth. The reason for the orange color is due to the scattering of light by the atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight must pass through much more atmosphere than when the moon is directly overhead. By the time the moonlight reaches your eyes, the blue, green, and purple pieces of visible light have been scattered away by air molecules. That's why you only see yellow, orange, or red.
The moon can have an orange color at any time of the year. Sometimes the moon appears orange even when it's directly overhead. This occurs when there's a lot of dust, smoke, or pollution in the atmosphere. The size of those particles will determine the type of color you will see.

As per Hindu calendar, Sharad Purnima is one of the most significant Purnima(s) that fall in a year. It is believed that Sharad Purnima is the only day in the year when the moon comes out with all sixteen Kala.

Sharad Purnima Significance

It is believed that those who worship Lord Chandra on the day of Sharad Purnima are blessed with health, wealth & happiness. Those who want to take a pledge to do Purnimasi fasting for the year, begin their fast from the day of Sharad Purnima.

Science Behind Blue Moon

Whenever two full moons falls within a month, then 2nd full moon is termed as Blue moon.

PS:- Blue moon is no where related to the blue colour of the moon. It just a term used for the 2nd full moon day of the month.
