Last Sunday, people all around the world looked up and saw something really special - a second full Moon in the same month, which is called a Blue Moon [even though it's not actually blue!]. Photographers captured amazing pictures of the bright, glowing Moon from deserts, cities, mountains, and oceans, showing how this rare event looked different depending on where you were standing. If you missed it, you'll have to wait years for the next Blue Moon to happen!
