Access the image A blue moon is a phenomenon that occurs very rarely: it is a moon tinted with an unusual colour which appears blue to our eyes because of the presence of dust in the atmosphere.

This phenomenon is fascinating, but unfortunately also extremely rare. It only occurs in exceptional cases, for example in during the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano, in during monsoon season following a particularly dry spell, and in following a huge fire in the forests of Canada. This is where the English expression 'once in a blue moon' comes from, indicating something that occurs very rarely.

When Gargamel was accidentally led into the village by Clumsy, he chased the Smurfs out into the forest, causing Papa Smurf and five other Smurfs to head for the waterfall and be transported into the present through that portal. They eventually came across a human named Patrick Winslow who helped them in their search for a "stargazer" so they can determine when the next blue moon occurrence will take place. They also found magic words within a book at Mr.

Wong's Mystical Emporium so they could reopen the portal to take them back to their own place in time. During their brief stay with him, the Smurfs had inspired Patrick to come up with a "blue moon" motif as part of his company's advertising campaign, which initially was sent by mistake to his employer Odile in place of the intended campaign design, almost causing Patrick to be fired, but was eventually accepted by Odile when she witnessed the moon literally turning blue through a spell cast upon it by Brainy Smurf.
