August ends with a Blue Moon - the second full moon of the month.
Most years have 12 full moons that occur approximately once a month. In addition to these 12 full lunar cycles, each year contains about 11 extra days. The accumulation of these extra days means that an extra full moon is generated every two to three years.
The month begins with a full moon on 1 August and ends with the Blue Moon on 31 August.
