Because of course Halloween 2020 has a full moon...

Halloween 2020 will definitely be remembered for a lot of reasons, most of them not great...

But at least we'll have something spooky to look forward to on the night of the 31st of October.

Because it'll be the first time in nearly 20 years that we'll experience a full moon at Halloween.

And it'll be extra special too because it's a 'blue moon'.  NASA explains that a blue moon occurs when you get the ''second of two full moons in a single calendar month'' (there was a full moon on October the 1st).

Fun fact too, this is where the saying 'once a blue moon comes from'.

It’s estimated there will be as few as six full moons on Halloween over the next 100 years. 

The last, came back in 2001 and before that it was way back in 1955. 

And it's estimated we wont see another one on Halloween until around the year 2039. 

So be sure to check it out!
