Did you know that this year when we ring in the new year it will be under a Blue Moon?


So here are some Blue Moon Facts:

  • Definition of a Blue Moon: it is when you have 2 full moons in one month
  • Are they really blue in color? NO its just called a blue moon
  • How often does a blue moon happen? A blue moon happens on average every 2.5 years. A full moon happens every 29.5 days so generally that is once a month.
  • When was the last Blue Moon? May 2007
  • Are New Years Eve Blue Moons rare? Yes they only happen every 19 years. The last was in 1990 and the next will be in 2028

So why is a Blue Moon called a blue moon? Well really it was a misprint in the Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 for Maine's Farmers Almanac and well it wasn't corrected for years later. The term Blue Moon just stuck. Smile

Re: Blue Moon - New Years Eve 2010

Blue Moon Brewing Company, a sub of Coors, released a limited beer for the event. It's called Grand Cru. I dunno if its any good because I've never even seen a bottle. And I work for the distributor. I'd like to try one just cause its limited, tho I expect it to be pretty much like all the Belgian style wheat beers out there.

Cool shot SM, it was pretty nasty here so I didn't get to see much of the moon. Laughing @ twilight MissB, it does but with less glitter. My daughter loves twilight and I can't stand it.
