Rare Blue Moon Visible Over Armonk Skies Rare Blue Moon Visible Over Armonk Skies
Rare Blue Moon Visible Over Armonk Skies WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Westchester residents were treated to a blue moon in the night sky on Friday.  The modern definition of a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, according to NASA.

The rare frequency of their occurrences led to the originatio…
