Happy New Year-Blue Moon

Happy New Year


Last Night had a Blue Moon.  The lunar calendar basically is a 28 day calendar.  So every 2 and 1/2 years there is 13 full moons in a year rather than the typical 12 full moons.  So last night's Blue Moon has nothing to do with color but rather we had an extra full moon.  The last one that happened on New Years Eve was Dec 31, 1990.



For 2010 here is a list of full moons, their names and dates.

2009 December 16 - January 14 = Early Winter moon

January 15 - February 13 = Mid Winter moon

February 14 - March 14 = Late Winter moon

March 15 - April 13 = Early Spring moon

April 14 - May 13 = Mid Spring moon

May 14 - June 11 = Late Spring moon

June 12 - July 10 = Early Summer moon

July 11 - August 9 = Mid Summer moon

August 10 - September 7 = Late Summer moon

September 8 - October 6 = Early Fall moon

October 7 - November 5 = Mid Fall moon

November 6 - December 4 = Blue moon

December 5 - 2011 January 3 = Late Fall moon


I thought that was cool.


Revelation 21:23

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.

And I missed my chance to use the saying "once in a blue moon" accurately. Oh well.
