The next Blue Moon according to the recent definition is June 2006 - does that make Space.com wrong (May 2006)?

Surely for a nation who can consider a burger "Awesome" nothing can actually be wrong?

From the S&T article mentioned earlier.
According to that there was no blue moon (of any definition!) in 2006

Al,
I think Dave meant June 2007 not June 2006, this would tie up nicely with your chart.

:oops:
Yes of course - I meant this year...
Thanks Martin
But its odd that S&T have June but Space.com list it as May... Judging by S&T's research into the definition of a Blue Moon I'd say theirs is the correct date.
Cheers
