The day in photos

1 of 12

A "blue moon" is spotted over the I-90 bridge in Seattle on August 31, 2012. A blue moon occurs when there's a second full moon in one calendar month. It won't happen again until July 2015. The full moon cycle is 29.5 days so a blue moon is uncommon and has come to mean something rare. The moon actually won't be colored blue. Fittingly, Aug. 31 is also the day of a private service for Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, who died last Saturday in Ohio at age 82.
