The night of Aug. 31 is the last chance to see a blue moon in the sky until 2015 rolls around and it will be at its full phase at 9:58 a.m. EDT today. The moon will be the second in the month of August, which is why it is called "blue moon" - for its rarity, not its blue-tinted appearance.

The Slooh Space Camera, which streams live cosmic events from various telescopes around the world onto the web, will be broadcasting the blue moon sighting live as it is at its fullest. Two live feeds - one from the Canary Islands in Spain, and another from the Prescott Observatory in Arizona - will be broadcast simultaneously, according to Space.com.

Other celestial events are also available for viewing on the site, such as Neptune's close approach to the earth's atmosphere.

The sight falls on the same day of Neil Armstrong's memorial service, the first astronaut to walk on the moon who died on Aug. 25 at the age of 82 following complications from a heart surgery. The broadcast will also pay tribute to the life of Armstrong.

The next blue moon will not happen until July 2015.
