And this Thursday we get a chance to find out just what those magical things as we watch the rare lunar event (http://gizmodo.com/tag/lunarevent/) coincide with all the beautiful fireworks of New Years Eve (http://gizmodo.com/tag/newyearseve/).
Blue Moon is the term applied to the second full Moon in a calendar month. It's an event that occurs roughly every two and a half years. This Thursday's blue Moon is far rarer than that though, because it's happening right on New Years (http://gizmodo.com/tag/newyears/) Eve—a coincidence that happens only about once in every twenty years.
So, between sharing New Years kisses this year, take a look at the Moon, because she'll be at her most beautiful. [Homer Tribune (http://homertribune.com/2009/12/lunar-event-happens-%E2%80%98once-in-a-blue-moon%E2%80%99/)]
