New Years Eve 2009 - Blue Moon - A Rare Event

This New Years Eve we'll get a special view of the moon, which will be a "full moon" for the second time this month.

Tonight the world will be experiencing a "Lunar Eclipse" but most people are referring to this December 31, 2009 moon as a "blue moon" which is a rare event. The next "blue moon" won't be until the year 2028 so make sure you get a glimpse of tonight's moon events.

The New Years Eve moon will not be a bright blue, but more of a "bluish color." The change in color of the moon is caused by dust or smoke particles in the air. The moon may also appear to be an orange or yellowish color (but looks like everyone is hoping for blue color for New Years).

I say everyone should play the "Blue Moon Song" at midnight! Happy New Year everyone, I'll be back in 2010!
