August Full Moon, is coming tomorrow at August 31st, the last day of this month. Actually August 2012 is bringing  two full moons. The first it was on August 1st and the second will be on the August 31st. What they say about the second full moon on the same month? They call it Blue Moon     and this is not because is really blue, but it will be brighter. At the beginning they called blue moon, the third full moon of a season, if it was followed by a rogue fourth full moon, as Space.com reports.

Enjoy the August Blue Moon, August 31st.

A number of fires, more than one hundred and seventy, started in Greece the last days, the most important in Rhodes and Crete Island.
In Crete, in fact, many fires start up at the same time.
In Rhodes, due to strong winds is very difficult work for firefighters trying tackle the flames. Late afternoon, the fire reached the national park with deer, the eco park of butterflies and their lives are at risk.
More than 100 firefighters fought the fires and Ilia as there are many scattered fronts.

Fire start earlier today in Hydra Island as well! Is getting worst and even more difficult as because after sunset firefighting aircrafts  is impossible to fly.
