A blue moon can refer to the third full moon in a season with four full moons. The earliest recorded English usage of the term "blue moon" was in a 1528.
In 2010 Blue Moon was November 21.

There are 4 photos of the Blue Moon.
First photo was colored in Photoshop.

1. Neutralize the colors (the median of the values of R, G and B is the same).
2. Create two duplicated layers.
3. First layer set as luminosity
4. Saturate the second layer.
5. Make invisible main background layer.
6. Play games with best parameters
So those colors are real, and the only difference is that they've been exaggerated a bit :)

Second photo: Blue Moon - White Balance: Tungsten light
Third photo: White-Black Moon - White Balance: Cloudy, twilight, sunset
Fourth photo: Yellow-Red Moon - White Balance: Shade
