Image of the Day December 28th, 2007 - By Haochi
When you search “once in a blue moon” (in lower case), Google Calculator will return the mathematical value of “once in a blue moon” - 1.16699016 x 10-8 hertz (or approximately 2.715 years).
Rarely, once in a very long time [...]. This term is something of a misnomer, because an actual blue moon - that is, the appearance of a second full moon in the same calendar month - occurs every 32 months or so. [Houghton Mifflin/Answers.com]

This value indicates the frequency in hertz of the blue or is it that I am wrong?

(If I understand your question correctly) The value indicates how often a calendar blue moon occurs.
