Ever wonder what the expression "once in a blue moon" comes from?
Well here is the answer, the last time we had a "blue moon" on New Years Eve was in December 1990!
For the full story on the New Years Eve blue moon check the full story at NASA's website.
Blue moon's aren't actually blue, but rather it means the 2nd full moon of that month.
Could make for an interesting New Years Eve for sure! Stay safe out there everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Keep lookin' up!

Another cool bit about the blue moon this new years is, for a few continents there will also be a partial lunar eclipse tonight as well.
That only happens once in a mellinium!
