Blue Moon
What`s a 'Blue Moon'?Comrade Jojo shared a very interesting topic on his blog. He talked about a 'once in a blue moon' event for New Years Eve.
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 solar calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days compared to the lunar year. 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."
An article posted by David Brown stated that when something unusual happens, we often hear that it was "once in a Blue Moon." But how rare to experience a "blue moon" on a very special day, New Year's Eve. Tomorrow you can witness that even more unusual event.
There really are "blue moons, but the term has nothing to do with the color of our satellite — it will look just the same as any other full moon.
We call it a "blue moon" when a second full moon appears during a single month. This month the Moon was full on December 2, and will be again on December 31, so that identifies the New Years Eve moon as a blue one. Actually, that definition is fairly recent, dating from a blooper in the pages of Sky & Telescope in 1946. You can read that story here.
Why are the appearances of blue moons unusual events? Most years have twelve full moons, taking place about once every month (the words "month" and "moon" come from the same Old English root). But the period of the moon's orbit around the Earth isn't quite a month long, so at the end of every year there are a few extra days. Those days add up and about every 2.7 years there is an extra full moon to make up the difference.
There are many theories where the term came from. One relates to the fact that in Medieval times the English clergy used the phases of the moon to determine the dates for Lent and Easter. If a full moon appeared too early, it was called a "betrayer moon," using the Old English word "belewe," meaning either betrayer or blue. Later English writers confused the two meanings.
Whatever the reasons, what better way to celebrate the end of the year just ending than to step outside and observe the rising full moon. How many more blue moons will come before two such unique events again coincide?
Because of geometry, a full moon always rises in the East opposite the setting sun, so right after dark is a good time to view Luna in her splendor. But if you wait until the traditional Midnight, the moment of the changing of the year, it may be an even more spectacular sight, for then the blue moon will be shining brightly from directly overhead, halfway across the sky.
Tomorrow is the last day of 2009 and it would be romantic to view this blue moon and the last sunset of 2009!^^,

2 Suspects Arrested in Murder of Japanese woman
Jakarta - Bali police said Wednesday they have arrested two men suspected of involvement in the killing of a 41-year-old Japanese woman at her rental home in the Kuta area.
The two suspects—construction workers who used to work on a construction site near the woman’s house—are being held by police in the Bali provincial capital Denpasar, Kuta Police Chief Detective Dayendra said.
Hiromi Shimada from Saitama Prefecture was found dead in her home on Saturday evening. She was found naked with several stab wounds to the abdomen and her legs were tied with a sarong.
Dayendra said one suspect comes from Lombok, an island adjacent to Bali, and was arrested in the Kuta area on Sunday, while another suspect was arrested in the East Java city of Jember on Monday.
The two were last seen having drinks with Shimada in a nearby coffee shop hours before the woman invited them to her house.
Police found the knife believed to have been used in the murder in Shimada’s house.
Shimada, who has reportedly been living on the resort island for the last 10 years, was about to be deported in January for overstaying her visa.
Shimada’s body was taken to Denpasar’s central hospital Sanglah where it is waiting to be claimed by her family.
In late September, Rika Sano, a 33-year-old Japanese woman, was raped and killed also in the Kuta area. Police arrested the suspected killer in early October.
