Is it possible to have a blue moon and a solar eclipse at the same time?

No. A blue moon happens when there is a second full moon. A solar eclipse happens when there is a new moon and it is right between the sun and the earth. But it is possible to have a blue moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time.


When is the blue moon in December 2009?

A blue moon is a full moon that is not timed to the regular monthly pattern. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days. The extra days accumulate, so that every two or three years (on average about every 2.7154 years) there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon."


If the new moon was visible where would you look to see the new moon when it rises?

At new moon, the Moon is right next to the Sun - that is, you see it in the same direction, more or less. At new moon, the Moon rises together with the Sun.


Is the saying 'The nearer the new moon is to Christmas day the harder the winter will be' true?

This year, 2015 there was a Full Moon on Christmas day, December 25th, and in our area we are having a cold Christmas. Colder and wetter than last year, which was unseasonably dry and warm. The Full Moon is the exact opposite of the New Moon. So no, it appears that the saying is not true.

What does a blue moon look like?

There are 2 uses of the term 'Blue Moon' - Because the lunar cycle is 28 days and the year has 365 days it works out that there are 13 new moons in a year. The year is divided into 4 seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, each of which would have 3 new moons (which are referred to as the Early Spring Moon, Mid-Spring Moon, Late Spring Moon and so on for the other 3 seasons) and wherever the extra 13th new moon falls it is given the name Blue Moon and this term is used to describe the 3rd new moon out of the 4 in the season. It would look exactly the same as the other 12. The other use of the term Blue Moon is when certain atmospheric conditions, usually smoke at high altitude, gives the Moon the appearance of a slightly blue tint.

How often does a blue moon occur on New Years' Eve?

The term "Blue Moon" refers to the second full moon in any single month, so.. if you have a full moon on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd (in months with 31 days) you will have a "blue moon" 28 days later. The event itself is a rarity, thus the phase "once in a blue moon". Blue moons happen approximately every 2.5 years. The last New Year's Eve blue moon was in 1990. The next will be in 2028. Fortunately for New Year's Eve revelers, full moons are also known for stirring up emotions and sparking wild revelry. So be sure to look up and raise your glass as you ring in 2010.
