The text claims that the moon is blue.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (35/100).
The claim that the moon is blue is not factually accurate in the context of its regular appearance. The moon's typical color seen from Earth is grayish-white. It appears red during lunar eclipses and might appear blue in rare atmospheric conditions such as after certain volcanic eruptions due to scattering. However, these occurrences are exceptions rather than the norm. Sources like Wikipedia and others indicate that the moon's appearance of being blue is not its actual color but a rare atmospheric illusion.
