Once in a blue moon moment caught on camera
The retired academic from UCLan was delighted to get the kind of photo you might, to coin a phrase, get only once in a blue moon.
Jim, of Bush Lane, Freckleton, waited some 20 minutes for his glimpse of the celestial show, which happens when there is a second full moon in a single calendar month.

The former medical ethics specialist added:“We also had a blue moon in January and that’s also unusual to have two in one year.”
As for his plans for his photo, taken at 10.10pm on March 31, he said: “I might use it as a screen saver.”
