While 2020 featured a rare Halloween “blue moon ” — the second of two full moons during the same calendar month — the blue moon that will be appearing in 2021 is a different type of blue moon. The Aug. 22, 2021 full moon will be considered a seasonal blue moon, which is the third of four full moons appearing during the same season. so; 31 oct 2020 - was a full moon & A BLUE MOON too and; a seasonal blue moon is not really a blue moon - a blue moon is 2 full moons in one calendar month so, 22 aug 2021 is a full moon, but, NOT a blue moon
